Women’s Equality Day Event

Each year YWCA Kalamazoo commemorates the passing of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives citizens the right to vote regardless of their gender. We at the same time recognize the barriers to civic engagement faced by Black women and other women of color, the effects of which are still prevalent more than a century later.

Our Women’s Equality Day event brings people together to highlight nationally-acclaimed speakers, community partners, and local organizations doing the work to break down racial and gender disparities and empowering people to take action in building more just and equitable communities.
