Location
Tune in to this Tele-Town Hall hosted by YWCA USA as Virginia Kase, CEO, League of Women Voters joins women leaders from around the country for YWCA's 14th annual Stand Against Racism.
Description of event from YWCA USA:
Voting rights, census participation, and civic engagement are, and have always been, essential to racial justice. As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts all aspects of life, it is also exacerbating the impact of systemic and structural racism on communities of color across health, education, justice, and economic sectors. In this moment, our collective efforts to secure full access at the ballot box, to ensure a fair and complete Census count, and to stand against racism—whenever and wherever it happens—are more important than ever.
Join us for a national tele-town hall where we will:
Explore the issues with national leaders in the movement for racial justice and gender equity
Learn best practices and build skills for effective civic engagement amidst social distancing
Motivate and inspire our nationwide networks for the work of racial justice
In this critical moment for our nation, our collective efforts can root out injustice, transform institutions, and create a world that sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do: Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.
