Join the YMCA on February 25 as We Wear Black in unity with those who are working daily to fight injustice, prejudice and inequity.
The Y’s African American Resource Network (AARN) cast a vision in 2020, as a response to the societal awakening to systemic racism, imploring all Ys to become anti-racist, multicultural organizations that intentionally lead and boldly model diverse and inclusive cultures that impact and strengthen the foundations of our communities.
The AARN acknowledges the history of racism in the US which permeates every system, including our organization. We acknowledge that in order to dismantle these systems of oppression, we must work in solidarity against all forms of social inequality and oppression.
We invite you to join us for We Wear Black on Feb 25, to take a stand against injustice and racism in all forms. We encourage everyone to join in the movement, wear black and spread the word by posting a selfie with and #WeWearBlack to your social media accounts.
We Wear Black to bring awareness to systemic racism and oppression of Black people in the United States and around the globe. Join us as we take a stand against racism.
