Do you know a persister? A woman who kept going, against the odds, and despite all the obstacles in her way?
Do you know someone leading the resistance, a person who is determined to stand up to the attacks against women, people of color, immigrants and people with disabilities by misogynist white supremacists?
Do you know a woman who has persisted?
Maybe it’s your mom, who somehow managed to work and raise you right. Or an aunt, or your sister, or best friend—or someone you met since the election that has inspired you or even helped show you how to make your voice heard. Maybe you have been most inspired by role models such as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or Little League pitcher Mo’Ne Davis, or NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson.

If you include an address, we will send the PerSister you honor a note letting her know about the gift. We will also acknowledge all PerSister Honorees submitted by noon on Friday, December 1 at our upcoming fundraiser gala in Philadelphia that evening. The theme of this year’s party, you guessed it, is Nevertheless, She Persisted. We hope to see you there, too!
