Since the start of the pandemic, YWCA has been meeting the critical needs of women and families in the community. COVID-19 forced us to respond and adapt quickly, and find ways to deliver socially distant services at 20+ locations across King and Snohomish Counties.

February 8-12 are Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Days, a week-long series of workshops, rallies, and meetings with lawmakers to push for more affordable housing solutions in Washington. We've highlighted four ways you can join in the collective action this week.

In the face of violent threats to our democracy, the inauguration of Kamala Harris is a reminder that collective action and civic engagement can yield powerful change for women, girls, and BIPOC communities.

Last year, YWCA decided to replace the phrase "people of color" in our communications with the umbrella term BIPOC. As a term, BIPOC centers the specific discrimination experienced by Black and Indigenous people.

Because of the generosity of a local foundation, YWCA is able to support our employees who have had to shoulder the burdens of being working parents during a pandemic.
