      <![CDATA[SLAG was one of the greatest summer adventures I have ever had.
Nancy is a great leader, and goes way further than any other woman I know to make youth feel empowered and wanted. She helps young girls believe in themselves and their abilities while helping bring down sex segregation in sports and beyond. Anyone can donate items, hold a fundraiser and deliver whatever to whoever, but it is all too uncommon for someone to happily donate their time.
I don't care if you value shoes, or blankets,
I'll take my self-esteem and skateboard, thank you.

      <![CDATA[Hey all thanks for checking out the other ladies. I am all for you all to vote who you please, cause they are all great.

In terms of local investments and building future female leaders in the NW region, vote for Skate Like a Girl. It's like a local stimulus program that will provide economic opps for girls and women!

Thanks Johan for Slogging me!

FYI

Skate Like a Girl (SLAG) strives to build community coalitions with other groups and organizations that are working to challenge oppression through education and dialouge, with the hope of creating better communities for everyone. In the past SLAG has organized ladies only skate jams, week-long summer skate camps and other events. SLAG offers instructional clinics to female groups of all ages and all levels- from never-eva to forever-eva.

Skate Like a Girl is an unique organization locally and internationally providing an innovative approach to female empowerment and leadership on the individual level, promoting women's skateboarding on the community level and at the same time striving to produce a collective of women who strive for social justice. These ideas are captured best in our vision, mission, and values. 

Vision 
Empower young girls & women to grow into strong, confident leaders who promote and implement social equity.

Mission 
Promote female skateboarding by fostering confidence in girls & women to skateboard and take leadership in their communities.

Core Values 
We value experiential learning, civic participation and social justice.

      <![CDATA[Yeah, kinda hard to motivate us to vote for female skateboarders when most of those cuases are far more worthy. 

Thanks for the heads up. I voted shoes for Navajos...
