Mark your calendar for the Stand Against Racism, April 27, 2012. Though the Stand Against Racism is officially a day, there will be events throughout the week before the 27th. The YWCA’s Stand Against Racism is a partnership of over 70 YWCA Associations throughout the country with the goal of bringing people together from all walks of life to raise awareness that racism still exists and that it can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Our strength is in numbers!

Groups of any size are invited to become a Participating Site of the Stand Against Racism by hosting a "Stand." A "Stand" is an event, private or public, hosted by your organization/company/school/church where participants gather to take a pledge that will stand against racism.  You can also elect to attend another group's event.   

Becoming a Participating Site is very easy. There is no cost to participate. Call 404-835-1630 or 404-835-1633 with any questions. We seek to bring people together for one common goal – the elimination of racism. Please join us.
