Pilar

was born from a simple but powerful need: the need for a space where everyone can feel safe, connected, and empowered through community.

We believe that feminism is a movement for collective liberation. It is inseparable from the fight against racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, colonialism, and every system of oppression that prevents people from living freely and with dignity. Feminism is not a single issue :it is a commitment to justice for all.

Like many others, we struggled to find a place where we could practice activism in person while also finding our people,a community where we could belong, grow, create, rest, and feel safe. We wanted a space where organizing and healing could exist side by side.

As birth workers, it was essential for us to center reproductive justice and reproductive rights in this vision. We know that caring for our communities means protecting bodily autonomy, supporting families in all their forms, and advocating for equitable access to care.

Pilar is more than a feminist center. It is a home for community, creativity, learning, organizing, and mutual support. It is a place where activism is rooted in care, where art and expression are celebrated, and where we can imagine and build a more just future together.
