YWCA I Rise Unity March
The YWCA IRise Coalition
will be holding a second Annual Unity March on Sunday,
January 26, 2020 from 3:30pm-6pm in Downtown Toledo. The
event will be peaceful and positive, no negative protesting.
More details about location, speakers, etc will follow.
The YWCA IRise Coalition
encourages all citizens to join together and promote a clear
message that Toledo- Lucas County stands for peace, justice,
freedom and dignity for all. We march to demonstrate that we
stand with all members of our community especially those
most vulnerable. “We want to show that Toledo/Lucas County
stands with all of the members of our community at a time
when prejudice and divisiveness are on the rise nationally,”
said Lisa McDuffie, YWCA CEO.
The YWCA of Northwest
Ohio, works to meet the diverse needs of women and eliminate
racism by serving more than 29,000 individuals through
various programs each year. Those programs include the
Domestic Violence Shelter, Rape Crisis Center, Child Care
Resource and Referral, Youth Development, Permanent Housing,
and Healthy Connections.
