The Stand Against Racism is a movement of the YWCA. Our goal is to unite groups and individuals that share in our vision of a society free of racism and discrimination. Together, we want to raise awareness that racism still exists and that it cannot be ignored or tolerated.
The Stand Against Racism is an annual event held on the last Friday in April. Over 50 local agencies joined the YWCA Central Massachusetts in taking a Stand Against Racism in 2012 and we hope you will join us this year!
The YWCA Central Massachusetts will hold three events on April 26th.
