• Until Justice Just Is

    YWCA is on a mission to eliminate institutional and structural racism. We act every day by raising awareness about the impact of institutional and structural racism and by building community among and advocating with those who work to advance racial justice.  

    We invite you to join us in this mission by pledging to participate in our upcoming racial justice challenge "Until Justice Just Is". This challenge aims to highlight the ways you can move from learning to action to advance racial justice.
