The YWCA of Charleston will be hosting the first Stand Against Racism event in the greater Kanawha Valley on April 30, 2010. They are inviting like-minded organizations in the community to become a participating site or host their own “stand” on the said date.

There are various ways for organization to do this: it can be a public rally, a demonstration or as simple as observing a moment of silence. Interested organizations must register at www.standagainstracism.org and choosing the YWCA Charleston, WV as the local YWCA that invited your organization. Once you register, you will be given a SAR tool kit, with everything you need to know and need for making your stand against racism.
