Deaconess Community,

In our last newsletter, we encouraged you to take the time to reflect and process the events of 2024 as we prepare for the next few years. In the months ahead, Deaconess will use this space to provide thoughtful resources, insights, and materials designed to support us all in navigating the current state of affairs in the country. We remain committed to liberation and justice while fostering a space for learning, dialogue, and action. We are not without power.

Activating in my purpose,
Bethany Johnson-Javois
President & CEO
Deaconess Foundation

I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. –Audre Lorde
