FEMINIST ORGANIZING
Tabitha works to demonstrate the defining and oft-overlooked power of everyday women to enact change. As a founding member of Movement Women TT, she seeks to end gender-based violence in Trinidad & Tobago. In 2017, she co-led the one day strike, A Day Without A Woman, which saw international participation. Women withheld paid and unpaid labor, at home and at work, organizing in streets across the world to make clear that women’s labor must result in equal pay for equal labor, adequate support in the home and professionally, the right to make decisions about our own bodies and the right to dismantle systems that seek to marginalize us.
Women’s March on Washington
After joining the Women’s March team at its inception and helping organize the historic Women’s March on Washington in 2017, Tabitha went on to serve as Deputy Executive Director of Program for the organization. Tabitha currently serves as Senior Advisor, Strategic Partnerships. In this role, among other duties, she has led partnerships with many organizations and groups across the country as well as with the WNBA, Lush Cosmetics, Ben & Jerry's, Johnny Walker, Cora Women and more. She also leads Women’s March’s work surrounding parenting, including the Marshall Plan For Moms.
Youth ALLY
As an adult ally, Tabitha has guided young people in emboldening their power to create change. She has led several workshops and talks about the power of youth in community organizing and in fashion. Tabitha co-founded Youth EMPOWER, the youth arm of Women’s March and led the team in organizing the 2018 Enough! National School Walkouts that saw over 2.1 million students walk out of schools demanding safety from gun violence. Tabitha also co-coordinated a Youth Ambassador program which saw 31 young people from all over the country recognized for their outstanding activist work. She created the Empower Student Toolkit, a collaboration between Women’s March, Rock The Vote, Teen Vogue, and others that provided actionable guidance for organizing.
