Like many of you, we at Matter are outraged by the SCOTUS decision to end federal protection of reproductive healthcare.

Our hearts break for the single mom in West Virginia whose forced birth will drive her family further into poverty; the Black woman in Texas statistically 3x likelier to die in childbirth than her white counterparts; the middle schooler in Idaho whose firstborn brings no joy, just abject trauma from the night she was r***d.

The majority of Americans are against overturning Roe v Wade, and the rippled outcomes that will deepen our country’s already shameful inequities. But five people in a room made it so. As a result, we commit to the fight for reproductive justice for all: every income level, every race, every age, and in every state in America.

We will not resign. We’ll get to work.

We’re excited to share our latest launch, the new brand identity for and entirely redesigned website introducing their expanded mission as an organization.

Formerly Interfaith Youth Core, Interfaith America inspires, equips, and connects leaders and institutions to unlock the potential of America’s religious diversity. They were looking for a new brand identity that could speak to their many audiences across sectors and express their position as the leading interfaith organization that builds from faith as a bridge that connects us.

From UX strategy and website design, to a full suite of brand identity assets, we supported Interfaith America in their re-introduction to the world.

New York-based artist and educator Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya () calls the portrait which covers this week’s issue of TIME “With Softness and Power.”

The image “reflects the immeasurable strength of Asian American women who are the connective tissue of our communities, yet too often overlooked, fetishized, dehumanized and underestimated.” Phingbodhipakkiya tells . “My hope is to see the beauty of our people reflected in the colors of our communities in a dignified and respectful way.”

We, at Matter, are proud to see Amanda's work gracing the TIME cover, exemplifying the resilience and strength of the Asian American community. Our hearts are with all who are mourning, hurting, and processing however needed this week.

Thank you Amanda. Looking forward to our collaborating again with you soon.

International Mother Language Day recognizes that languages and multilingualism can advance inclusion, and the Sustainable Development Goals’ focus on leaving no one behind. UNESCO believes education, based on the first language or 'mother tongue' must begin from the early years, as early childhood care and education is the foundation of learning.

The idea to recognize was the initiative of Bangladesh, where February 21st is commemorated annually in tribute to those martyred for the in 1952.

"The theme of the Day this year, 'Fostering multilingualism for inclusion in education and society', thus encourages us to support multilingualism and the use of mother tongues, both at school and in everyday life. This is essential, because when 40% of the world's inhabitants do not have access to education in the language they speak or understand best, it hinders their learning, as well as their access to heritage and cultural expressions. This year, special attention is being paid to multilingual education from early childhood, so that for children, their mother tongue is always an asset."

— Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO

Moments captured in time from our nation's capital–how far we've come and how much farther, still, we've yet to go.
