Stand Against Racism on 4/27

Partnering with YWs across the country, together we are going to Stand Against Racism! Join us on Friday, April 27th from 3:30pm to 5pm in our Gym at 38 Lawrence Street, as we all pledge to personally help eradicate racism in our communities. On display will be posters, projects and photos created by YW program youth and residents of Fina House that help illustrate the agency's ongoing conversation about the causes and impact of racism. The YW stands for the right of individuals to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, and we commit to taking action for peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.

This event is open to the public, and free! No R.S.V.P necessary!
