YWCA Brooklyn

YWCA Brooklyn In 2015 there were over 20,000 visits to YWCA Brooklyn’s Social Justice Community Center.

Critical to YWCA Brooklyn’s social justice model is the dedication of its newly renovated,180,000 square foot downtown Brooklyn building in service to the community and specifically other grassroots organizations also serving women and girls in Brooklyn. Facing a rapidly gentrifying borough, YWCA Brooklyn recognizes that many nonprofits cannot pay the rising costs of rent and are, as a result, struggling to survive. Through YWCA Brooklyn funded subsidizes for both office and program space, these organizations are able, not only to survive, but also to expand the reach and impact of their services. YWCA Brooklyn is proud to currently house four other nonprofit organizations including Girls for Gender Equity, as well as to provide free event and meeting space to dozens of other nonprofits throughout Brooklyn.

Abuse may look like constant criticism, manipulation, controlling access to money, online stalking, threatening messages, or sharing private images without consent. Not all abuse leaves visible bruises, but all abuse can have lasting impacts.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let's expand our understanding of abuse and help create communities built on respect, safety, and healthy relationships.

We can't let the evidence of the Latina wage gap disappear. The U.S. Census Bureau is proposing a rule to eliminate questions about race and ethnicity in the 2030 Census, putting at risk the data we need to fight for pay equity. We must protect this data and ensure every voice counts. Take action today: Submit your comment before the November 2, 2026 deadline right here: https://equalrights.quorum.us/campaign/170473/

Latinas are still paid just 53¢ for every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men. This number reflects all Latinas with reported earnings—including migrant, seasonal, part-time, and gig workers—because organizing for change must include everyone. It's even worse for immigrant Latinas. Today we honor our power, advocate for equal pay, and amplify progress. Learn more at linktr.ee/mujerxsrising.
