Equity Engagement Series

YWCA of Rochester & Monroe County publishes an Equity Engagement Series to highlight issues of inequity and racism in our community.  We believe we cannot meet our mission to eliminate racism and empower women unless we explore how racism and inequity affects us all.  These mission stories were developed from interviews with YWCA residents, clients, board members, staff and other  supporters.  We share these stories to highlight the mission critical work of YWCA as we seek to break down systemic barriers and confront bias.

Join the mission.

At YWCA, we demand a world of equity and human decency. We envision a world of opportunity. We commit ourselves to the work of racial justice. We will get up and continue to do the work until injustice is rooted out, until institutions are transformed, until the world sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do: Equal.  Powerful.  Unstoppable.

YWCA thanks our YWCA 2020 Equity Engagement Sponsor
