Friend,

As we transition from Black History Month to Women's History Month, it is a time to celebrate the trailblazing women who have shaped our past and continue to inspire our future. It’s also the season of local elections, Mardi Gras festivities, and most importantly, planting seeds of solidarity to blossom a new region nourished by love, justice, and a commitment to all of our residents. At WEPOWER, we believe meaningful conversations and shared experiences are at the heart of finding common ground in St. Louis.

Last week, nearly 200 St. Louisans came together at our events co-hosted with 21c Museum Hotel for the launch of an exciting partnership and a powerful discussion on the state of our economy – examining its successes and shortcomings and the power of reimagining an economy rooted in solidarity. The energy was palpable as we shared stories, listened with intention, and even laughed together as we plotted on building a stronger, more inclusive economy. Now, more than ever, it’s time to listen, learn, push, and be pushed. The future of St. Louis is in our hands, and we are determined to shape it in a way that works for everyone.

Join us as we continue this journey of exploration and collaboration. Through every event, every conversation, and every gathering, we move closer to a future where every person has the resources and opportunity to thrive. Together, let’s build a St. Louis that works for all.
