2021 Annual Report, Civic City: Building a Community of Changemakers
We are excited to share our 2021 Annual Report, Civic City: Building a Community of Changemakers.
Civic City highlights WCC’s efforts to build a community of changemakers—women who use their voices to create meaningful change in their neighborhoods and across New York City. Read all about our Civic Matters programming and policy work, which expands opportunities for women—particularly those who have been systemically excluded from civic processes—to become agents of change.
We know that advancing WCC’s mission—to ensure more women have opportunities to create change in their communities—will lead to a more equitable society, one better equipped to handle the types of challenges that recently have tested our systems and resolve.
The groundwork we laid in 2021 ensures women will have the resources they need to advocate for themselves in this ever-changing climate.
WCC made great strides in 2021 because of the support, guidance, and expertise of community members like you, as well as our partners, funders, and coalition members.
We hope you share our energy and enthusiasm for this work! When you join us as a supporter, you are helping to close the civic opportunity gap so that all women can become civically engaged and create positive change in their lives, families, and communities.
Together, we can continue to build a community of changemakers who will fearlessly lead inclusive progress that will benefit all New Yorkers.
About
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.
