Happy Women's History Month! This month, we're honoring the accomplishments and contributions of women throughout history. To celebrate, we've put together an array of programs and activities for all ages and backgrounds. We'll have weekly art lectures, a film screening, and a women's self-defense class.

To complement these programs, we’ve created a Women's History Month reading list that features inspiring books and media for adults, children, and teens.

Women's History Month is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made over the years in terms of gender equality. It is also a time to recognize how much further we still have to go, so that all people are treated fairly and equally. Join us this month as we celebrate all of the incredible women who have broken down barriers, inspired change, and whose drive for progress continues today.

March is also National Social Work Month, focusing on the vital services provided to people in need. We are holding two special community events to highlight the resources available right here in Hoboken. I encourage you to attend to learn about the full-range of services.
