At YWCA Boulder County, we advocate for women and girls by educating and developing relationships with policy makers, community leaders and community members. We work to create legislative, policy and systems change to break down barriers for the advancement and economic sustainability of women, girls, and people of color.

How to TAKE ACTION ↘
Interested in how YOU can TAKE ACTION and make positive change in our community?
Here are some ideas:
Stay up to date on legislative issues on the local, state and national levels through online resources.
Make your voice heard!
Contact your legislators, on the local, state and national levels, about the issues that are important to you to inform their actions. Calls, emails, and written letters or postcards all make an impact. See our Advocacy Contacts section below for contact information for your representatives. Make it a regular family activity!
Write a Letter to the Editor to add your voice to community conversations about important issues. Learn some basics and tips here.
Attend a Day at the Capitol event, meet with legislators and learn how to testify for or against a bill.
Take a YWCA Boulder County adult education course about the personal, interpersonal, institutional and structural systems of racism.
