🦈 50 years ago, Jaws hit theaters and made us all afraid to go in the water.
✒️40 years ago, the Journalism & Women Symposium (JAWS) reclaimed that shark power to make women journalists fearless as they navigated the obstacle-infested waters of the news business.

To mark these milestones and ensure the JAWS for journalists continues, I'm asking for your support.

Your $50 gift will allow the organization to champion women journalists, uplift truth-tellers, and build a future where young reporters don’t just survive this industry — they thrive in it.

Your donation will:
✨ Help a young journalist attend the JAWS Conference Sept. 5-7 in Washington, D.C.— a life-changing event where mentorship and opportunity meet.
✨ Support women journalists in the workplace with the tools, training, and community they need to rise above the tides of bias, burnout, and shrinking newsrooms.

This is more than a donation. It’s a lifeline. It’s a way to say: We see you, we believe in you, and we’re clearing the waters for the next generation of storytellers.

JAWS has been an anchor in journalism — a place where women lift each other up, mentor boldly, and build pathways for those who come next.

🎯Will you join me? Give $50 for 50 years. Help us keep the waters safe for women who dare to speak truth to power.

Together, let’s prove that the only thing to fear is a world without fearless women journalists.

Thank you

Make a splash for JAWS!
