We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Gloria Steinem, the trailblazing feminist icon, journalist, and activist. Her influence reached, and inspired, millions around the world. A recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she helped to create numerous organizations committed to advancing equality.

She was also a self-proclaimed "cat lady," a vegetarian, and a staunch advocate for animal welfare. She understood the connection between the rights (and the oppression and exploitation) of humans and animals, and used her voice to stand up against injustice and cruelty in all forms. We remember her courage and compassion with great admiration.

Happy Raksha Bandhan, from Zack and Nilla!

Raksha Bandhan comes from two Hindi words - ‘Raksha’ implying ‘protection’ and ‘Bandhan’ implying ‘bond’. So, Raksha Bandhan signifies a protective bond that connects brothers and sisters and celebrates their unconditioned love, respect, and care for each other.

Irrespective of cast, creed, and age, people from all walks of life participate in this festival. Traditionally, sisters tie a Rakhi around the wrist of their brothers. In return, brothers show their love in the form of gifts and vow lifelong protection towards their sisters.

Although it is primarily a celebration of brother-sister relationships, it is also celebrated among cousins, sisters and brothers-in-law, fraternal aunts and nephews, and grandparents and grandchildren, among others. In more recent times, many siblings regardless of gender, have been also tying a rakhi as a symbol of unconditional love. ❤️
