Green Justice Now! Growing a Sustainable and Equitable Future
YWCA Central Carolinas presents Green Justice Now! Growing a Sustainable and Equitable Future—a panel discussion exploring the history of environmental justice and its connection to Charlotte’s changing landscape. The conversation will highlight the impact of environmental issues on marginalized communities and examine the systemic factors contributing to environmental challenges. Experts will also discuss solutions for building a more sustainable and equitable future.

We Believe 2025
YWCA’s annual We Believe event is our single biggest fundraiser each year, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support all of YWCA’s programs, including transitional housing programs for women and children facing homelessness, out-of-school literacy programs for children in low-income households, and racial justice programs that educate and mobilize our community.
Our We Believe 2025 event took place on March 4, 2025.
