YORK, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most
influential nonprofit evaluator, has created a list of best
charities focused on Women's Advocacy to honor the legacy of
women's rights trailblazer Shirley
Chisholm. This list debuts during Women's History Month,
inspired in part by Netflix's "Shirley," which tells the story of
the first Black congresswoman and political icon, Shirley Chisholm, and her trailblazing 1972
presidential campaign. The film was produced by Royal Ties
Productions and Participant and is available to stream now on
Netflix.
Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm is
often considered a political icon who dedicated her life to gender
and racial equity. The Women's Advocacy Best Charities List,
developed in collaboration with Participant, features nonprofit
organizations aligned with Chisholm's passions for labor rights and
education that have earned prestigious four-star ratings on Charity
Navigator.
"Shirley Chisholm was a true
pioneer in the advancement of Black women in politics," says
Laura Andes, Chief Programs Officer
at Charity Navigator. "We love the film – it's electrifying and
moving, and we hope it inspires viewers to honor Shirley's legacy,
take action and contribute to the charities featured on our Women's
Advocacy Best Charities List.
