2025 back-to-School DrivE
With deep gratitude for our community that showed up quickly and generously, we closed our back-to-school drive at the beginning of Aug, and were able to get all the school items to the families in time (for school starting)! 48 backpacks with school items (pens, erasers, folders, writing pads, and more), 60 water bottles and additiomal items (staplers and sanitary pads) were delivered to Narika, Asian Women's Shelter and Family Paths! The wonderful advocates from these orgs then passed on all items to the children from the families they support, those impacted by interpersonal violence.
To every donor who contributed, every volunteer who helped ensure the wheels keep churning to get these bags to the organizations in time, and every ally who shows up, thank you for enabling us to keep serving! 💜

‘HOOP IT UP’ SUMMER YOUTH BASKETBALL Camp
We wrapped up our one-week summer basketball youth camp - Hoop It Up!
The team came together as ‘Electric Lizards,’ and we saw a team come together. Through laughter and banter, nervousness and hesitance, came cheering and support.
The week was set up to learn basketball skills and see how those can show up as life-skills off court too. The conversation topics ranged from identity and belonging, to leadership and legacy, confidence and growth mindset, coping and resilience.
We thank the kids for showing up day after day, our youth coach Annanya for bringing her energy, Megha Sharma Narang from Rewire for leading the conversations with gentleness, Sangita Biswas LMFT, who helped design the life-skills part of our program, and finally, Ruchi Bansal, the parents, guardians, grandparents, Rewirists, the cake-bakers and the donut-makers – it takes a community to build a community!

Love is love is love is ... love :)) ❤️💜💚🩷
An empowering evening as City of Dublin, CA and The Town of Danville honored diversity in our communities.
Danville proclaimed June as Pride Month, and PFLAG SRV, San Ramon Valley Unified School System and students and Danville Congregational Church were there to receive the proclamation.
Dublin once again raised the Progress Pride Flag in honor of Pride Month. The Mayor and Councilmembers spoke to the power of inclusion, and need to end prejudices.
It was Rewire's privilege and honor to be present for both events! To continue standing proud as allies, with the promise to learn, listen, ask, speak, act. And always show up!! Thank you, Dublin, for creating this space. Thank you to every person who showed up!

Supporting the AANHPI LGBTQ+ Community
Thank you to all who joined this virtual interactive panel discussion and storytelling gathering, where we heard from leaders, LGBTQ+ folks and members of our community on how we can be empowered advocates & allies.
Our regions are diverse places with a large AANHPI population. How do we support the AANHPI LGBTQ+ community that experiences marginalization and intersectionality? How do we open our doors and be intentional in our conversations and actions so we can create a safe space for everyone? This Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we hoped to have brought together a heartwarming, constructive discussion.

InterFaith EarthFest
How wonderful it was to be part of InterFaith I-SRV's EarthFest once again, and meet so many organizations working for our community and climate. 💚
We had the opportunity to present and table at the event. We chose to share our work through mini-skits, using stories we have seen/observed/heard to highlight the "why" behind the work we do. The three skits we did were on the topics of gender stereotypes, financial domestic violence and healthy boundaries. And we connected them to our programs such as 'Changemaker' youth groups and our events to create dialog around stereotypes and their long term impact; the work DV advocates do on the ground and our own Care-kits and funding programs; and workshops we do on self care, compassion & healthy boundaries. We also opened each skit for discussions.
Our presentation ended with a movement, highlighting how cultural mediums such as dance continue to create a common thread that allows us to connect on topics, that may otherwise not be approached.
Grateful to continue being part of the grassroots movement! 💜

International Women's Day
Filled with energy, love, humor, and determination, our community came together for Rewire’s International Women’s Day celebration. It was an afternoon of solidarity, reflection and action—leaving us with a sense of unity in our shared pursuit of gender equity.
We cannot thank everyone enough for contributing. Our list of thanks is endless, as is our gratitude.
…the hands that planned, decorated, and volunteered, and the hearts who brewed cups of tea and brought snacks to keep us going
…every artist, performer, and speaker who brought stories to life and kept the momentum going
…the grassroots organizations represented by advocates, sharing resources and reminding us of their support at the frontlines
…the community members who chose to be with us, showing up for gender justice
We honored the words of Maya Angelou as a tribute to the voices that have come before us, those we get to witness today, and the many yet to come. Their stories shape our journey, and it’s our privilege to write our own.

Our Changemakers were eager to share their work and learn from other youth making an impact at the grassroots level!

We were grateful to stand alongside likeminded organizations, including the San Ramon Valley Diversity Coalition, Narika, the Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, the Discovery Counseling Center, the APAPA Tri-Valley Chapter, and the Diablo Black Men’s Group. A special congratulations to San Ramon Valley PFLAG for their recognition for advocacy!
