Not All Sheroes Wear Capes

Join us in cultivating space for healing, human connection, and collective care for Muslim women. Let's build a sustainable movement to carry our community and our Sisterhood through this moment of isolation into a future of radical togetherness.

In this together.

Since mid-March, many of us have been sheltering in place, distance learning with our children, delivering groceries to our most vulnerable, or on the frontlines caring for the sick. It's been tough navigating this new norm. We are facing collective trauma. We are experiencing collective grief. And, together, we are committing to collective healing.

Here's what we're doing.

RISE had to shut our offices, but we haven't stopped doing work to amplify the voice and power of Muslim women. We asked you what you need, and we heard you tell us that wellness and spiritual self-care are critical in carrying our community through this time. To provide that space for healing and human connection, we launched Sisterhood At Home with local therapists, life coaches, and artists.

Our storytelling work has also taken a turn as you shared that you wanted us to work on a book and maybe even a children's book about Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota. We're also going to add Sheroes Live! to future digital convenings, inviting our whole community into this transformative storytelling.

And for our advocacy work, we've gone digital! We're still attending Days at the Capitol with our beloved partners like Moms Demand Action, the Coalition of Asian American Leaders, Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light, and MAS-MN — all from Zoom. We're still standing up for the issues and initiatives that matter to our community, from anti-racism in the age of coronavirus to climate justice.

Support your Sheroes and the Sisterhood.

As we change strategies and create innovative programs, we need you to be on this journey with us. We need you to back the Sisterhood during this challenging time, knowing that the Sisterhood provides a digital space for healing connections, an outlet to tell our inspirational stories ourselves, and a platform to fight for social justice.

The Sisterhood is committed to being with you in community, and even though being together may look different in this moment, that commitment is stronger than ever. We are here for our sisters, sending all of you peace, joy, and love. Feel free to reach out to us anytime at contact@revivingsisterhood.org.
