YWCA Speaks Out Through Events
Our 2026 Focus: Health, Well-Being and Racial Justice
As we look ahead to 2026, YWCA Central Carolinas is centering our Racial Justice and Advocacy programming on a critical and deeply connected focus area: Health and Well-Being.
This work builds on the issues we’ve explored and addressed for years. From Black maternal health to the criminalization of Black and Brown girls within the education system, both physical and mental health are woven throughout the social justice challenges facing our communities.
Together, we will deepen our understanding of these issues and strengthen our advocacy for policies that improve health outcomes for communities that have been historically marginalized.
For any questions, please contact our Community Engagement Manager Jamila Green at jgreen@ywcacentralcarolinas.org
