from: Third Wave Foundation

Dear Katherine,
Congratulations on your 20th Anniversary as the Founding Executive Director of Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice!
Under your leadership, Astraea has been a committed partner in building a youth inclusive social justice movement. Where others have strayed from a vision of inclusiveness, you have been bold in your assertion that it is our job to bring the voice of every member of our community to the table - regardless of age or gender expression, and then listen to that voice. You have shown us time and time again, that we can simultaneously be leaders, allies, partners, and mentors.
Katherine - when feminists like you are our mentors and partners, success is an inevitable outcome while we organize for justice. Third Wave is honored to salute your brave and brilliant conviction in our shared struggle for equality and human rights across the world. To many more years of funding change and strengthening communities around the world!

With deepest appreciation,
Your friends at Third Wave Foundation
