I see their tenacity and confidence, which gives me hope that they will do more to stand up for themselves and others then we have done in the past.

I see a trend of increasing displays of strength and bravery and, at the same time, diminishing tolerances for accepting the status quo.

Our current generation of girls gives me hope when they develop the confidence to use their voice and make the world a better place.

Even during a pandemic, even in the face of continued racial injustice, girls are defining themselves for themselves, replacing concepts of diversity with identity expansiveness and radical belonging, organizing their peers for civic action and engagement, using technology to connect in new ways, finding joy, and leading us toward a brighter future for all.

– Emma Mayerson, Alliance for Girls Executive Director

I see a strong and vibrant group of young women that challenge the status quo and will not be denied an equal playing field.
