For 22 years, YWCA Pasadena’s – now YWCA Glendale & Pasadena – Women for Racial Justice Breakfast has been a space and experience that has brought people together for deep learning. It serves as an invitation to action to advance racial justice. 

In 2022, over 530 supporters from the Pasadena and Glendale communities gathered for the first in-person event since 2019 to lift up incredible individuals whose work to advance racial justice is contributing to the groundswell of change in our institutions, communities, and culture.

In 2023, At YWCA, we demand a world of equity. We envision a world of opportunity. We commit ourselves to the work of racial justice. We will get up and continue to do the work until injustice is rooted out, until institutions are transformed, until the world sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do: Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable!
