YWCA USA is proud to be an official partner for the Women’s March on Washington. YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. We believe these issues cannot be separated — women’s empowerment cannot happen without the elimination of racism; gender justice is racial justice is economic justice. We agree and stand with the March’s aim and their intersectional policy platform, which recognizes that women and girls of color often bear the burden in our society, and disproportionately face inequities and barriers. We are looking forward to joining other social justice and feminist organizations in this March, and, together, continuing the work towards eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
