- YWCA USA and YWCA Greater Los Angeles held a training on “No Gender Justice Without Racial Justice” at the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, led by field engagement manager Samantha Davis, who also was a panelist at a break-out session on mass incarceration.
- Our CEO Alejandra Y. Castillo gave remarks at an event with the Center for American Progress and Valerie Jarrett.
- We hosted a reception for YWCAs and people from partner organizations, where we had the privilege of having Dolores Huerta in our presence.
