YWCA MV Launches Crisis Chat & Text Lines

We take this pledge, fully aware that the struggle to eliminate racism will not end with a mere pledge, but with calls for an ongoing transformation within myself and the institutions and structures of our society. We pledge to look deeply and continuously in our hearts and in our minds to identify all signs and vestiges of racism; to rebuke the use of racist language and behavior towards others; to root out such racism in my daily life and in my encounters with persons I know and with strangers I do not know; to expand my consciousness to be more aware and sensitive to my use of overt and subtle expressions of racism and racial stereotypes.

#OnAMission

YWCA Mohawk Valley is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

YWCA MV is a nonsectarian membership organization dedicated to its mission. Founded in 1885 and incorporated in 1904, the agency serves over 10,000 individuals each year in Herkimer and Oneida counties. YWCA MV provides life-changing programs and services, including domestic and sexual violence crisis services, emergency and transitional housing for domestic violence survivors, violence prevention education, and outreach and advocacy. YWCA MV does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, and age in the delivery of services.

This is how we will move our community forward, through support and empowerment.
