At age 76, Sunny Fischer (Evanston, IL) has advocated for women to be free from violence, exercise reproductive choice, afford their homes and possess financial stability. Sunny’s radicalization for women’s issues began in the 1970s while working directly with victims of rape, “the most dramatic form of sexism.” Over the past 40 years, Sunny has co-founded foundations focused solely on women’s issues, including the Sophia Fund which is now part of the Chicago Foundation for Women. Sunny’s work to promote affordable housing includes her current role as chair of the board of the National Public Housing Museum.
Whatever the cause, Sunny’s approach is to listen, investigate, understand, strategize, and organize. There is a lot more work to do, and I still have the dreams to try. – Sunny Fischer
