We recognize the power and value of being curious, humble if we are to share a sense of respect and trust among our neighbors, co-workers, people of different faiths, different cultural traditions. If we want democracy to come to life, let’s make it happen in our everyday lives!

Our personal impact as democracy-builders grows because we support each other.
Ways to Show Up, Answer the Call into the SisterScene:
Help build the #SisterScene community by inviting trusted friends in and by sharing learning resources, cultural events. Join a Zoom Call as a SisterScene-support person to see how we center curiosity, compassion and forgiveness.
Share your story, your art, your perspective. This is a moderated and curated space. Comment with curiosity and compassion. Send encouraging messages, gratitude as often as possible.
Show support just by signing-up and sharing our invitation with someone you believe might be curious to learn about us. No action is required. Choose your own level of participation or chill level.
We select and share pathways to community engagement: activities are always optional—participate and connect each other to book clubs, online courses, retreats, workshops, public school events, government, civic events, art, music, sports events.
