Ways to Fight
The last few weeks have been very difficult to say the least. The Anti-Abortion laws being passed in the states have been so disturbing.
The abortion laws are a clear effort to control women, so we're focusing on various ways you can continue to fight for women's rights.
Also, maybe if you need a break from fighting for women's rights you can focus on self-care.

RESILIENT SOUNDTRACK
This month we're featuring a local artist Victoria Anthony who got some viral coverage when she blew the crowd away singing at a Pink concert. Since then she has created her own single all about girls being able to escape societal expectations and live their dreams.
Victoria also happens to be the daughter of Christina Anthony, who created the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs- a non-profit designed to support women who own their own businesses (only 16% of all businesses in Canada are owned by women). Christina has been a champion for women in business and for anyone (including her daughter) to achieve their wildest dreams.
Don’t try to tell me I can’t do it cause
All that makes me wanna do is do it cause I can
Don’t try to tell me I’m not strong enough
All that makes me wanna prove is I’m enough ‘cause I am
Too weak, too innocent, showing too much skin
Too sweet, emotions so unstable
Too thin, too accommodating, it’s too much it’s suffocating
Time’s up now Imma turn the tables
Because I’m a girl, gotta be this and that
Because I’m a girl, gotta say this, not that
But because I’m a girl, I’m gonna be strong
Prove ‘em wrong
For every girl, I’ll conquer the world
Because I’m a girl
You tried to mold me, make me fit inside
Your old school stereotypes, yeah that’s nice but I can’t
You want to have your cake and eat it too
Act like a lady, but be cool and smile for you, well I’ll pass
Too weak too innocent, showing too much skin
Too sweet, emotions so unstable
Too thin, too accommodating, it’s too much it’s suffocating
Time’s up now Imma turn the tables
Because I’m a girl, gotta be this and that
Because I’m a girl, gotta say this, not that
But because I’m a girl, I’m gonna be strong
Prove ‘em wrong
For every girl, I’ll conquer the world
Because I’m a girl
I like who I see staring back at me
I’m alright with her, but not society
Your standards need to leave
Our bodies are for keeps
Your words they cut us deep
But they don’t make us bleed
Because we are girls
Because we are girls, gotta be this and that
Because we are girls, gotta say this, not that
Because we are girls, we’re gonna reach for the stars
‘Cause that’s who we are, we’ll conquer the world
Because we are girls
