On December 10th, we gathered virtually to reflect on this most challenging year with PowHerNY Partners and friends. We heard from incredible leaders, Attorney General James and Assemblymember Michaelle C. Solages who offered their perspectives on how we can gear up for the work ahead in New York. We honored Assemblymember Ellen Jaffee and Assemblymember Aravella Simotas as Inclusive Gender Justice Champions, and we raised our glasses in recognition of the sacrifices and resiliency of our community and leaders.
