2020 WCC Annual Report: Civics in Action

2020 represented enormous challenges to all of us, but particularly to the women who are most impacted by structural inequities and bore the health and economic brunt of the pandemic. These are the women that WCC is committed to supporting—New York City women who face systemic barriers to civic participation.

Never daunted by a challenge in WCC's 106 years, we pivoted our approach and managed to continue activating civic participation­—even if it had to happen remotely. WCC worked harder than ever to shape a more inclusive civic future for New York City.

WCC could not have forged ahead in 2020 without the support, guidance, and expertise of community members like YOU, as well as our partners, funders, and fellow coalition members. We hope you are energized by our work over the past year and that you will join us as a supporter to close the civic opportunity gap so that all women can become civically engaged and create positive change in their lives, families, and communities.

Women Creating Change (WCC), formerly known as the Women’s City Club of New York, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan activist organization dedicated to advancing women’s rights and shaping the future of New York City. Founded in 1915, WCC works to advance gender and racial equality by equipping women of color, women experiencing financial hardship, and gender-expansive individuals, with the knowledge, tools, and resources to advocate for the issues that matter most to them. WCC collaborates with partners, policymakers, and advocacy groups to drive real change in economic opportunity, education, healthcare, safety, reproductive rights, and environmental justice. WCC connects women with key stakeholders to learn, act, and engage. We empower women to lead change, shape policy, and strengthen communities, redesigning systems for a more equitable New York City. At WCC, we believe every woman has the power to make a difference. Visit wccny.org.
