Together We Rise!

On January 21, 2017, 2.9 million people marched, from New York to Oakland, to advocate for the rights and expanded agency of women and girls. It was the largest protest in American history.


What's next? Together We Rise will bring together 500+ extraordinary, intergenerational leaders of the girls' movement to learn from those at the front lines how to equip ourselves with the right strategies and action steps to lead a revolution that elevates and protects the rights of girls and young women. Join us for this historic and timely summit!

Morning Breakouts


Gender Justice: Inclusive Movement Building

Racial justice, disability justice, gender justice, immigrant rights and LGBTQ rights are inextricably connected. We cannot succeed in achieving equity for one without fighting for equity for all.


Participants of this session will explore how we can build a girls' movement that is inclusive, expansive and effective.


Reimagining Leadership: Starting with Ourselves

As leaders and girls' champions, we are often focused on the external: actions, products and quantifiable successes. To get to these external measures of success, however, we must first focus on the internal: ourselves.


This session is about holistic health and healing as central to leadership. When we, as girls' champions, recognize our trauma and focus on well-being, the girls and young women we work with do too.


Participants in this session will develop personalized wellness plans, and learn a wellness planning tool that can be replicated with girls and young women.


Breaking the School-to-Prison Pipeline for Girls of Color

In 2015, Alliance for Girls (AFG) was the recipient of the National Girls Initiative Innovation Awards, from the US Department of Justice. This award enabled AFG to bring its coordinated community response model for improving girls' lives into the public school system. Specifically, into Oakland Unified School District.

 

In partnership with the district, AFG implemented the Meeting Girls Needs Initiative: creating and enacting policies, practices and programs that directly respond to the expressed needs of girls of color in Oakland schools, by leveraging and organizing membership expertise and resources.

 

Learn how you can bring the Meeting Girls Needs Initiative to your school or school system. We will use Alliance for Girls’ partnership with OUSD as a case study.

Afternoon Breakouts



The Future is Female: Women in Public Policy

This session will explore a two-tiered strategy for protecting and advancing girls' rights in the current political climate: (1) electing women into office who will fight for women and girls' issues, and (2) advocating and organizing, as citizens, for the policies that girls’ lives depend on.


This session will feature campaign organizers who have successfully elected women into office at the local, state and national level, as well as advocates who have successfully passed critical policies for girls and young women. Participants in this session will leave with a step-by-step guide for how to elect women into office (with an eye toward the 2018 mid-term elections), and defend and pass pro-girl policies.


Sponsored by the Peggy & Jack Baskin Foundation


Culture Shift: Using Art to Transform

Culture change precedes political change; it enables it. Art appeals to the heart first, and allows people to imagine the impossible without the constraints of the realistic. It is through art that great social movements have been born and sustained. Rosie the Riveter was a vital symbol of women’s critical role in the workforce and Bob Dylan gave voice to the frustration of a generation of young people who did not believe in America’s war in Vietnam.


Participants will learn how to transform our culture from one of anger and division to one of love and solidarity -- by appealing to the heart.


Girl Track: Reality Store

This live, interactive experience helps you understand how the choices you make about career and money can have a dramatic impact on your future.

Sponsorship

Sponsors of Alliance for Girls’ 5th Annual Conference make a difference in the lives and future of Bay Area girls while positioning themselves as visionary community leaders. If your company understands the importance of investing in girls to ensure the future vitality of the Bay Area’s workforce, become a conference sponsor.


Our sponsors come from across sectors including finance, technology, telecommunications, health care, philanthropy and the food and beverage industry. Their support helps build and strengthen connections between the girl-serving sector and the business community. And, sponsors don’t just contribute financially -- they participate in the conference as well -- providing employees with an inspiring educational experience!
