The Junior League’s Little Black Dress Initiative 2024

---

_{What is the Junior League’s Little Black Dress Initiative?}

^{This year’s 8th Annual Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) is an advocacy-focused social media and fundraising campaign where members wear one Little Black Dress for 5 days, October 16th-20th, to illustrate the restrictions poverty places on choices, opportunities, and access to resources. Join us for a cause in raising awareness to the issues faced by women in our communities due to violence, inequality, and poverty.}
