Advocacy

Social Justice Protest, Housing Nonprofit, YWCA Cambridge

YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families and strengthen communities.

We’ve been at the forefront of the biggest issues of the day for 160 years: from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity and from violence prevention to health care reform. We carry on this long tradition of social action and advocacy to advance our mission — and you are a crucial part of this work. Your voice is critical as we advocate for policies that bring us closer to eliminating racism, empowering women, and ensuring peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

    Legislation that directly impacts our housing and shelter residents is core to our mission.

  • Healthcare

    Healthcare is a human right.

  • Economic Security

    We support increases to federal and state financial assistance to those experiencing poverty.

  • Racial and Gender Justice

    Racial and Social Justice is at the core of our mission.
