Today is the Dawn of a New Era 🌅
Dear Sister,
Today is the dawn of a new era. We stand at the threshold of a powerful new chapter in GirlTREK’s history—the rebirth of our movement. You are receiving this email because you are one of the 10,000 women who said yes to walking at sunrise today in honor of Juneteenth, a day we celebrate our freedom. Your commitment and activism have defined what it means to be a part of GirlTREK, and we are excited to share this moment with you.
GirlTREK Underground is a revolutionary health and wellness platform for Black women that transforms a daily walk into so much more. This is our modern Underground Railroad—a safe space where you can track your miles as you walk toward your healthiest, most fulfilled life, connect with other Black women, and lay down new tracks for our collective healing journey.
Current features include the following (with more on the way later this summer):
Trekker Trailhead for quick access to start and track your walks.
Badges inspired by Black history and culture that you can earn when you walk.
Concrete Curriculum with inspiring podcasts and meditations designed to turn your steps into more than a walk.
Asphalt Affirmations from GirlTREK headquarters and testimonials from members for daily motivation and inspiration.
Campaign Central with GirlTREK campaigns and calls-to-action.
You are among the first to access GirlTREK Underground, and we are excited for you to use it and share your feedback as we work to build a powerful tool that is set to revolutionize this movement.
As we build out GirlTREK Underground with exciting new features coming soon, we need your help to christen this new platform. We invite you to embark on this journey with us! Download the beta version of GirlTREK Underground now in the Apple App Store (Android version in Google Play coming soon!) and join us on this journey to #GetFree.
Have questions or need help? Check out our APP FAQ.
You can now track your walks, earn badges and connect with other women in the movement all on one app. Our first mission is to log 1,000,000 collective miles in the app by Labor Day. Every walk you take counts. Are you in?
We’re asking every woman who downloads the app to walk 100 miles to help us reach this epic goal. By walking 100 miles, you will ignite a real-life, real-time revolution in our neighborhoods, and launch GirlTREK’s first mobile app into the stratosphere, showcasing its potential in a major and transformative way.
When you walk this morning you will earn your first badge in GirlTREK Underground as part of our celebration of Juneteenth. If you weren’t able to walk at sunrise, you can still earn your Juneteenth badge by walking at least 30 minutes today. Walk in a Juneteenth parade, walk in your neighborhood, walk at the closest Black park. Be sure to press “Start” in the app to log your miles.
We are the daughters of Harriet, paving the way for a new Underground Railroad to freedom. Will you join us?
We cannot wait to see you on the front lines and in the streets.
Happy Juneteenth & Welcome to Freedom,
The GirlTREK Team
