Stand Against Racism 2017 – Photo Gallery

YWCA Spokane is so proud of our Spokane community. We had a tremendous turnout for our 2017 Stand Against Racism courageous conversation this Friday, April 28th.

Keynote Speaker, Erin Jones, did an amazing job of inspiring the crowd and leaving each person with an expanded awareness of how to find common ground, celebrate our differences, and build bridges for connecting a divide.

We sincerely appreciate everyone for joining us to take a stand against racism in our community today and each day forward!

Special thanks to Caruso’s Sandwiches and Artisan Pizza for donating a delicious lunch for our guests to enjoy.
