Every mother wants good lives for themselves and for their families. And, at the very minimum, that starts with surviving pregnancy and childbirth.

Through Mother’s Day this Sunday, May 10, the ShineMaker Foundation and an anonymous donor are matching every donation, up to $100,000, doubling your impact for mothers everywhere.

Every mother should be able to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period safely, with dignity and respect. That should be the norm. That is what we’re working toward.

Huge thanks to the ShineMaker Foundation for their unwavering general support since 2019! Having their backing so early in our journey, just one year after our founding in 2018, has been instrumental in helping Global Forest Generation grow and thrive from the very start. by @shinemakerfoundation

Celebrating the female leaders in nature who shape the SF Bay Area and protect its future. 💚

If you need a reminder that girl power is real, just look outside. 🌿

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area — one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots — female leaders are everywhere.

🦅 Female golden eagles rule the skies, larger and fiercely powerful hunters along our ridgelines.

🌊 Orca pods off our coast are led by wise matriarchs who guide generations.

🦎 California newts migrate each year to lay the next generation in our streams.

🐝 Bumble bee queens emerge each spring to build entire colonies on their own.

🐍 Northern Pacific rattlesnakes give birth to live young and gather in maternity groups.

🌼 Female coyote brush plants fuel ecosystems with life-sustaining seeds and nectar.

Across our open spaces, strength, resilience, and leadership are woven into the wild.

Today, we celebrate the women — human and wild — who shape the Bay Area and protect its future. 💚 by @shinemakerfoundation

International Women’s Day is a reminder that progress happens when we stand together, challenge inequality, and create systems that empower everyone.

Let’s continue to raise our voices and work toward a world of fairness, respect, and opportunity.

You have the right to remain silent or not.

Matter of Time — such a beautiful, hopeful, and vulnerable film. Not to be missed and now streaming on Netflix.

ShineMaker is a proud supporter of @ebresearch and their mission to find a cure for EB. 🦋

This is not a traditional music documentary.

It’s a story about people refusing to accept “impossible.”

Matter of Time blends music, community, and hope, spotlighting families living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and the unstoppable movement racing toward a cure. 🦋

More than 400 million people live with a rare disease.
This film shows what’s possible when one community refuses to accept the wait.

A little-known law called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) could not only impact Grand Staircase-Escalante, but is also being used to upend public land protections across the country.

SUWA and partners are hosting an emergency webinar in defense of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, this Monday, February 9th on Zoom at 6:00 pm MT!

Register at link in bio.

Utah’s congressional delegation is expected to introduce a “Joint Resolution” in Congress that, if passed, would undo the current Monument Management Plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante.

Making this all possible is a little-known law called the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Join us on Monday to learn about the background of this obscure law and how its unorthodox application could not only impact Grand Staircase-Escalante, but is also being used to upend public land protections across the country.

We’ll spend the second half of the call highlighting ways we can all fight back and defend the monument, including by contacting members of Congress and requesting in-district meetings.

Please share this invite with your professional contacts, friends, and family. We encourage attendance regardless of where you live, but especially 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮, 𝗜𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗼, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼, 𝗡𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗮, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 (𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘀𝘆𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘆), 𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣! by @shinemakerfoundation

Progress starts with courage, compassion, and community.

Today we honor Dr. King’s legacy by reflecting on his words, learning from his actions, and committing ourselves to creating a more just and inclusive world. May we continue to show up for one another and turn hope into action.
