CONNECT recognizes that in recent years the shift in politics, societal views on women, and violence in families and communities has had a substantial impact on women. Therefore, we have decided to re-boot our Women’s Circle and make it a space where women can find refuge from the world, open up about their personal struggles and hold space for each other. The Women’s Circle will meet the second Thursday of every month. RSVP to Sharene Roig at sroig@connectnyc.org.
