YWCA Kalamazoo is Building Bridges to Equity

Together with advocacy experts and changemakers, we’ll explore the histories of movements that shaped racial equity, practice the tools of community organizing, and strengthen strategies for building lasting change. Attendees can expect transformative conversations, hands-on skill-building, and opportunities to connect with others committed to justice. Even though registration is closed, the vision remains collective.

Past Experiences

A thought-provoking educational panel on racial justice, policy, and the power of social movements; An activation workshop to build your advocacy toolkit — including organizing, storytelling, and working with policymakers; Time to connect with local advocates and organizations, explore resources, and begin new collaborations. Plus: Lunch, swag, and inspiration to fuel your justice journey

This workshop was a highly structured session where individuals learned more about reproductive health funds and left with concrete tools and next steps to begin similar funds in their own communities. The workshop was open to everyone; however, those who attended were asked to stay for the entire duration.

The Stand Against Racism Round Table Mixer was an opportunity for decision-makers, advocates, and community members to hear from one another and build connections. It was a loosely structured part of the event where participants were invited to come and go as they pleased.
