Every April, the YWCA of Asheville joins with YWCA USA to raise awareness about the impact of institutional and structural racism and build community among those who work to advance racial justice. This year, our racial justice campaign, Until Justice Just Is (UJJI), centers around YWCA USA’s theme of Building Bridges to Equity, and it will be based on the topics for the 2024 YWCA Racial Justice Challenge, which will investigate these topics:
• Bodily Autonomy
• Women’s Financial Empowerment/Caregiving
• Gun Violence
• Transportation
This year’s campaign will take place throughout the entire month of April, with the YWCA Racial Justice Challenge, a critical component of the campaign, running April 1–29. Join us all month long as we highlight events and initiatives to inspire and engage our network of activists, advocates, and allies and advance racial justice — together.
Register today for the Challenge and to take the Until Justice Just Is pledge.

Light A Path, Trauma-Informed Yoga
Bodily autonomy is one of the most fundamental rights we have as human beings. However, across the country, this fundamental right is being challenged. This week, as we have difficult conversations about some of the many ways marginalized bodies are restricted, policed, and violated we offer a trauma-informed yoga class to support your learning process while holding space for the many experiences people live.
