Stand Against Racism

The Stand Against Racism is a movement of the YWCA with the goal of bringing people together from all walks of life - across the country - to raise awareness that racism still exists.

The methodology of the Stand Against Racism is to bring together like-minded organizations that share in our vision of eliminating racism and celebrating the richness of diversity. By inviting community organizations to partner with us, we maximize the outreach of this mission, attracting hundreds of thousands of participants.

Organizations across the United States are invited to become Participating Sites by hosting their own "Stand" locally. Individuals are then invited to join any of the "Stands", where hundreds of thousands of people will take a Stand Against Racism across the country.

On April 30, 2010, there will be approximately 2,000 Stand Against Racism events throughout the country where over 200,000 people will be taking a Stand Against Racism. Churches, synagogues, temples, and other houses of worship are invited to join us on Saturday and Sunday, May 1st and 2nd.
