SISTERS ONLINE HISTORY
Sisters
Online was born out of the Fourth International Women's Conference in Beijing,
China, where
participants were challenged to use the Internet to network with one another
around goals for social change. Communities of religious women in the Upper
Midwest decided to collaborate together on a website where
justice issues would be the main focal point. Sisters invite all individuals
and communities of women to work together to create a world where the needs
of the earth and all its peoples are more important than profit, a world
where life in all its forms is valued and held sacred.
This
vision is part of a whole movement of women committed to transforming society
around the world. This website is meant to facilitate the work of Sisters and
raise up the voices of those who are without power and wealth. The three
focus areas invite everyone to take on a global issue, a national issue for
the U.S. A.
and a regional issue. Please become a part of this growing social movement by
working with us for change.
