If you ever wonder who you are in this moment, consider these words from Smith College Associate Professor and MacArthur Fellow Loretta J. Ross:
“I used to regret not being old enough to sit-in at lunch counters or march in the 60s for freedom, justice, and democratic values. This is our lunch counter moment. Are you standing up or sitting-in for justice or spitting on those who do?”
Professor Ross is one of the activists who coined the term “women of color” in 1977 and co-developed the theory of Reproductive Justice. She moderated a panel celebrating 40 years of Women’s Funding Network at Feminist Funded 2025.
