The musicians of Grammy-award winning band Bon Iver chose the Women’s Council as local partner in their 2 A BILLION campaign during their sold-out performance in the Orpheum on April 1, 2019.
2 A Billion is a domestic violence prevention and gender equity initiative that has reached over 10 million individuals and raised over $300,000 for nonprofits across the U.S. and Europe.
In Memphis, the band auctioned two signed merchandise packages online, shared proceeds from sales of their 2AB-specific tees and from the stage urged fans to support the Council’s work to end gender violence and empower women’s voices. In the lobby before and during the concert, Women’s Council volunteers shared Memphis Says NO MORE materials and information on local efforts to end domestic violence and rape and to help survivors.
Together we will raise our voices to end gender inequality, domestic violence, and sexual abuse toward women. Learn more about 2 A Billion here: https://2abillion.org/

    For the 37th year, Memphis and Shelby County women will be honored for changemaking leadership at the annual Women of Achievement awards and celebration of March National Women’s History Month.

    Eight local women will be celebrated from 3-6 pm on March 26 in a ceremony in the spacious sanctuary of First Congregational Church, 1000 Cooper. Bettye Boone, 2015 Woman of Achievement for Vision, and Kim Bearden, Elmwood Cemetery executive director, will host the awards ceremony.

    Celebrate women who stand up and speak out – to empower women, to protect women’s rights, to preserve farmland, to feed the hungry, to ordain women to preach and to grow equitable jobs and workplaces.

    Nominations for awards come from across the community; finalists are selected by WA members. Since the first celebration in 1985, 262 individual women plus the Yellow Fever martyrs, local suffragists and the women who save Overton Park have been honored. A three-volume book series captures the biographical essays and photographs of the WA honorees thru 2004. In addition, all essays and images are on the website womenofachievement.org
