Hello Friends!


As we move into our new building, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all those who made this possible. The need in Hamilton to support those who are escaping violence, to support those who do not have the resources or the capacity to support themselves, and to continue to stand up for racial justice, equity and inclusion still matters. Thank you for supporting our mission to eliminate racism, to empower women, and to promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.


Our journey is not complete yet. Racism still exists. But with your guidance, support and hard work, we will make the world better.


With gratitude,


Wendy Waters-Connell, RN, LNHA, CPASRM

Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director
