Grief is not like a cold that goes away.

*The Sacramento General Congress of Women (SGCW)—13 women community leaders and activists—brought together by the late and beloved Joan Marie, convene in honor of the 150th anniversary of Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation. Written in 1850, this proclamation is a call to action for current women of all intersections of identity to rise and lead the healing around the world from war and violence to peace and healthy compassionate community-building.
Julia Ward Howe wrote clearly and passionately that for us to discuss the greater needs of peace, we must first come together to hear each other’s voices and grieve over all that has been lost. On this foundation of compassion, understanding and courage we can build an equitable world where peace and justice prevail.
Therefore, the SGCW first action, hosted by Compassionate Sacramento will present a three-month exhibit at the Crocker Art Museum, titled “Activism through the Arts.” Taking place August 5 through October 31, the exhibit will feature works from capital region and California artists of all identities in the themes of Social Justice, Empowerment/Self-Agency, Health/Well-being, and Environment. During the three-month art exhibit, members of the SGCW will also offer a calendar of virtual educational and performing arts events for the community that will inspire, educate, connect, and activate in the name of compassion, healing, and peace.
To access this wonderful calendar, go to https://chillsacramento.org/sgcw/
If you feel blessed or inspired by our presence in your life, feel free to visit our SGCW webpage to support prosperity consciousnesses for all and offer a donation that is comfortable for you.
