Women of Color & Allies Summit

The Southwest Region of the National Organization for Women is proud to host The Women of Color and Allies Summit. This coalition of California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah NOW is joining together to acknowledge and discuss critical issues that affect women of all colors and their social environments.

The WOCA Summit includes speakers, panels, workshops and a World Café Conversation. Guests will join with hosts and presenters in discussions to deepen understanding between all people of all colors and economic circumstances with a focus on social, political, economic, health, reproductive justice and equality. We hope that this afternoon of community will address issues of difference, discover common ground and result in an informed agenda of working together to further the cause of equality for women, men and families in our region, states and local communities.

WOCA TOPICS:

* Global EcoFeminism
* Empowering Women
* Eliminating Racism
* Environmental Justice
* Immigrant Rights
* Feminist Activism
* Domestic Violence
* Reproductive Rights

Ultimately we shall discuss the illusion of disparity, the commonality of diversity and the joy of unity.
