These Women :: Retail Therapy Guide 3/8/2024

Today is International Women's Day, which has been a day for recognizing which women are not recognized. Beacon resident, Palestinian refugee and local business owner (Ziatun and Beacon Bread Company) Lena Jamal shared a post from The Slow Factory that we will quote here: "This International Women’s Day we call on all who identify as feminists to engage in the lifelong unlearning of their biases and to be in solidarity with Palestinian women, Sudanese women, Congolese women who are experiencing an ongoing genocide. "In Palestine, more than 9,000 women have been brutally killed by the Israeli Occupation. Sixty three women killed per day. "In Sudan, 4 million Sudanese women & girls are at risk of sexual violence. "In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 1 million women have been survivors of sexual violence. "In Turtle Island aka the so called USA, 94% of fatal violence committed again Trans people are committed against Trans women." Nancy Brownell Has Passed Away; Will Be Honored During Parade Of Green Nancy Brownell, wife of former auto dealer owner on Rte 52 Rick Brownell, passed away on February 7th at age 58 surrounded by family. She and Rick have two sons, Tyler Brownell and Justin Brownell. Nancy could be seen in Beacon often, and was known for her fashion and stylish shoes. She was involved with the Parade of Green, which this year, shares her birthday of March 9th, 2024. Her husband had posters created in her honor to celebrate.
