What’s Next in 2025

This year Women Unite! is leaning into its founding and guiding principles, our belief that relationships and connection are the only things that are going to get us through the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. To help foster these ties, we’re regrounding ourselves in some of our earliest activations and practices.

In 2025, you’ll see more opportunities to participate in mutual aid, more outreach and engagement events that amplify and support work that’s already happening across the city, and more chances to meet up with Women Unite! and our extended community in-person. This page will serve as a repository of all our goings on this year as well as ways you can help show your support!

Here’s what we have slated for the first three months of the year.

May

We’re holding our first-ever Mutual Aid Fair! Join us on Sunday, May 25 for an opportunity to dive deep into collective care, connect with your neighbors and experience mutual aid in action. We’ll be at Movement on Montrose and have a pay-what-you can rummage sale, a chance to plug into mutual aid groups and other volunteer opportunities, music from a local DJ, food available for purchase, free yoga and other activities for kids, and vendors and artists who will be selling their wares. Learn more by checking out the event page here.

March

We’ll be kicking off the month by showing love to abortion providers. We’ll have a wellness activity with food and drinks and an opportunity to say thank you for their critical, impactful work. To support the event, make a donation here. 

On March 29, we’ll be meeting up at  A House in Austin to put together care kits for the 35 families and nearly 70 kids they support. We’ll need help gathering items and supplies. Learn more about how you can support by checking out the event page.

February

We’ll be hosting a Winter Wellness event for frontline community members and leaders. These are folks who are involved in organizing and activism as well as those most impacted by Chicago’s exploitative and extractive systems. We’ll be offering a yoga flow and sound meditation followed by food and drinks. Support the event by making a donation here.

Keep Up!

Of course, we’ll have more as the year goes on. To stay in the loop, be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media!
