Dear Young Women: You Have the Right to Choose Your Own Future
PROJECT GLIMMER IS COMMITTED TO YOU.
WE CARE THAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE PRESERVED.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, removing the federal constitutional right to abortion that has been American law for 49 years. In doing so, the Supreme Court has allowed individual states to ban abortion - many of which have already done so.*
Project Glimmer stands against this violation of your human rights. For over a decade, Project Glimmer has worked to bring resources, inspiration, and empowerment to you, a community whom we believe in passionately. We stand with you and your right to choose when and if to have a child.
At Project Glimmer, we believe every girl has the right to dream big – to envision and realize an empowered future. You deserve to choose your own future. So let us make clear the values implicit in our work:
Project Glimmer stands in solidarity with the young women we serve, who deserve to have control over their own bodies and future, and with all organizations fighting for body autonomy and freedom of choice.
We know the world is not fair for women today but it is not hopeless. You have a voice and the world needs to hear it. Vote in every election and encourage the ones you love to vote, every vote matters. Here is a link to resources and places you can go to take control of your own empowered future.
Project Glimmer is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring every girl to envision and realize an empowered future. Project Glimmer has served over 800,000 teenage girls and women, 86% of whom are young women of color. Project Glimmer works in all 50 states through partnerships with 1,000+ organizations including foster care, homeless, crisis care, and youth services. Through our programs including Gifts + Goods, Empowerment Events + Academy, and 1:1 Career Coaching we are committed to helping end gender and racial inequality.
