PRESENTS:
THE 21st ANNUAL WOMEN FOR RACIAL JUSTICE BREAKFAST
October 24th, 2023 | 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST
For 21 years, our Women for Racial Justice Breakfast has been a space and experience that has brought people in the Pasadena community (and beyond) together. This event offers opportunities for deep learning and an invitation to action to advance racial justice. Our 2023 theme of Illuminating Bridges In Solidarity reflects our intersectional approach to addressing race and gender equity. We have had a long commitment to recognizing change makers and risk takers throughout our history.
We believe that the equally important goals of eradicating racial and gender disparities call for a celebration and recognition of the people who build bridges. Building bridges allows us to collectively build a world of belonging, open new possibilities, and connect across movements and sectors. When we build bridges, we create solidarity.
The 21st Annual YWCA Glendale & Pasadena Women for Racial Justice Breakfast is a fundraising event that attracts hundreds of attendees, including corporate and community leaders, elected officials and professionals throughout the LA County. This event will take place on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, 8AM – 10AM. The Breakfast will be emceed by Emmy Award Winning News Anchor, KTLA's Cher Calvin and feature a keynote speech by the Founder of the Women’s March Foundation, Emiliana Guereca.
Through this event, we recognize the commitment and dedication of our supporters, program participants and community, and business and government partners who advance our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. The goal of the event is to deepen the engagement of YWCA supporters, raise funds for YWCA programs and services, and raise awareness about societal issues at the intersection of race and gender. We are proud to celebrate the 2023 YWCA Women for Racial Justice honorees for their work building bridges to advance racial equity.
