Welcome! We're thrilled you're joining us in this space.
Chicks Who Give a Hoot is out to inspire women to get involved, be change, and do good. This is a movement for women to find the cause connected to their heart and take action. It's a journey where creative women learn to use their collective power for good. We believe that women possess a unique ability to drive change and that they're wired to care about the world around them. Women have immense influence. The question is then, how do we use that to change the wrongs we see in the world?
We're asking you to own the space where your passion, talent, and heartbreak overlap.
We hope you'll find resources and inspiration in this space. We hope you'll find yourself coming back again and again. We hope that you'll feel the subtle or not so subtle push towards being the catalyst of change in your community or even globally.
We hope you'll volunteer, donate, organize, vote, and speak up. We know you're a Chick Who Gives a Hoot.
While we aren't affiliated with any political party or religious ideology, we do have some rules:
WE DO: Invite conversations, embrace diversity, ask questions, love our neighbor, seek to grow, serve others.
WE DON'T: Marginalize others, support hateful rhetoric, condone violence.
