Stand Against Racism 2022 – Recap

Thank you to everyone who joined us for YWCA Spokane’s annual courageous conversation.

Last Thursday, April 28th, we held Stand Against Racism 2022 and discussed Housing and Income Inequality. Participants had the option of joining us in person or attending virtually. We opened the event with a blessing, followed by performances of song and spoken word by local artists, and heard from a panel of community experts. The panelists shared perspectives from their professions and their lived experiences as they unpacked the local housing crisis.

Paso a la acción

Asistir a Stand Against Racism de este año es una increíble muestra de apoyo a los problemas críticos que afectan a nuestra comunidad y nación. Sin embargo, para que un cambio verdadero y duradero surta efecto, todos y cada uno de nosotros necesitaremos mantener nuestro compromiso de acción continua.

A continuación se detallan los pasos a seguir que puede seguir para mantener el impulso.

1. Comprométete a luchar contra el racismo

2. Sign Up For YWCA’s Stand Against Racism Challenge

3. Get Involved With Local Organizations & Events

Considere comunicarse con familiares, amigos y compañeros de trabajo para pedirles que actúen con usted mientras adoptamos una postura conjunta contra el racismo. Asegúrate de compartir en las redes sociales con #SARspokane. ¡Gracias!

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