YMCA Staff across the globe commit to being an anti-racist organization and honor Black History Month in a show of solidarity by wearing black on February 26, 2021 in addition to hosting a virtual town hall:

  1. Register to attend the Unlearning Systemic Racism townhall on Feb. 24 11am – 2pm CST.

The Y’s African American CEOs are excited to share the lineup of powerhouse speakers participating in next week’s virtual town hall on Unlearning Systemic Racism. Our guests will challenge us to consider how we as individuals, and as a socially responsible organization, can help dismantle systems of racism.

With our speakers, we’ll continue the conversations we began during the first town hall last July and dive deeper into the topics of health equity and the power of youth activism to create change.

All Y staff and volunteers are invited to attend. Learn more about our speakers here.

  1. Feb 26, coordinate with your Y colleagues and volunteers to wear
    Black, take a photo, and post with a short statement on why you wear
    black. Be sure to hashtag #WeWearBlack and tag @globalymca. Encourage others to post and engage!
  2. Share your photos on the AARN Facebook or AARN Link Community and with your local branch social media contact or member experience director.
