2025 was quite a year!

We got tired just putting this retrospective together!

Early in 2025, our Board of Directors chose to focus attention on the important issues of Housing Affordability and Immigration. Throughout the year we hosted a number of educational community discussions, collaborated with local groups like the City of Chelsea Human Rights Commission, MIRA, Jackson 4Immigrants, Grassroots Action, and Equality Chelsea, as well as several different groups to train and distribute Know Your Rights information to businesses in our communities. In addition, there was tabling at the Expo, Farmers Market, and Sounds & Sights.

We could not do this work without help from you. OWOF is a purely volunteer non-profit and we rely on donations to help pay for expenses to bring you a monthly newsletter and countless opportunities to learn and grown.

If you are interested in Board membership, getting more involved as a volunteer, attending our programs, or making a donation -Thank You! We need you!!  There are no membership dues, but we will be planning an all member meeting in January or February where we will be fleshing out of our program year. Our Board meetings are via zoom, held once per month and all are welcome to sit in. Donations can be make online or mailed (see info below).

Thank you again for all that you do to support social justice issues. We hope you have a Happy Holiday season and we’ll see you in the New Year!

– The OWOF Executive Committee (Joanne, Jane, Sandra, and Carolyn)
