Title | Stand Against Racism 2022 |
Description | Join YWCA National Capital Area as we Stand Against Racism on April 23! About this event UPDATE: Meet our 2022 #StandAgainstRacism Speakers! Learn more about them on our blog! Join us on Saturday, April 23 from Noon-3 pm for a community rally on Freedom Plaza where we will take a #StandAgainstRacism. This year’s event will feature story sharing and calls to action from speakers & activists committed to civic engagement, racial justice and changing institutions, along with a community & civic engagement fair. The Rally will begin at approximately 12 pm, followed by a community fair until 3 pm. The event is free and all are invited to attend. The deep-seated systemic racism and inequities that disadvantage communities of color remain woven into the fabric of our institutions today—from civic engagement to economic development, from education to health care, and investments in communities. We must work collectively to root out inequity in our communities and in the institutions that compose our society, and demand justice and equity. We Can’t Wait: Equity and Justice Now! Let's stand together and declare, enough is enough. Bring your rally signs. Bring your voice. Get registered to vote. Take a Stand Against Racism. Need a rally sign? Bring your own sign or use one of ours! You can purchase #SignsAgainstRacism from our YW EmpowerShop or at our office, 2303 14th Street NW, Suite 100. Note: We will be following COVID-19 regulations for outdoor events from the DC Department of Health. Masks & hand sanitizer will be available . If you are sick or experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, we ask that you please stay home. Source: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-against-racism-2022-tickets-275935920767 |
