The advocacy work that we do would not be where it is today without resilience, adaptability, and perseverance. Through funding cuts, community pushback, and other hurdles that we’ve jumped, we’ve kept on going. Good work speaks for itself, and we continue to do this good work while rolling with the punches. The stories of the AWRCSASA’s perseverance are a testament to our commitment to feminist advocacy, always.
