Who We Are:
We don’t just talk equity, we live it.
WoMN ACT® (Advocate, Collaborate, Transform), previously Minnesota Women's Consortium, was established in 1980 as a network of individuals and organizations working to ensure women were included in the decision-making process for policies impacting them and their families. (We’ve used the term “women” above, as it was the relevant descriptor during the historic time being referenced.)
Since its inception, WoMN ACT has served as an umbrella organization providing leadership, training, and resources to anyone working toward the goal of gender equity. A forerunner to current co-working spaces, WoMN ACT co-owned the Minnesota Women’s Building and offered shared and private offices to small and emerging organizations from 1988-2018.
We have created and cultivated structures and institutions that could sustain and advance equity. We have valued cross-cultural and intersectional inclusivity from the beginning, and we have grown to embrace multiple dimensions of diversity through active recruitment of our members, staff, and board.
As the only statewide collective of womxn’s organizations in the country, WoMN ACT has a long history of breaking down barriers that prevent womxn and girls from having the confidence, freedom, and power to reach their full potential.
Please consider supporting us with a monetary gift today, to help sustain and support the emergency of inequity through our advocacy and legislative platforms targeting violence against womxn, criminal justice reform, health equity, and racial justice.
Together, we can ensure womxn have a collective voice to shape the world we want to see.
Thank you!
