No one should never have to choose between their job and their health or loved ones. Every worker deserves job-protected safe leave, and paid sick and family leave.
Over 200 local YWCA associations actively serve communities across the U.S. and advance our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. Local YWCAs offer services and programs aligned with racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement, and health and safety to meet the specific needs of their own communities and to promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
Stand Against Racism is our annual racial justice campaign to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities.
This year’s theme is “Our Power, Our Mission, Our Future.” Voting rights and civic engagement are, and have always been, core components of racial justice work. As civil rights continue to be eroded for communities of color, we must work to support full access and engagement for women and girls of color in the political process. Join us!
