SOUTH CAROLINIANS AGAINST RACISM 
2020-22 pledge signatures  

We wholeheartedly thank these South Carolinians, who pledged to stand against racism with us and with hundreds of thousands of other people across the country. They pledged that they will oppose racism and stand up for social justice in their everyday lives, and many of them wrote in about how they intended to do it. It warms our hearts to see it!

Thank you to our Racial Equity Institute sponsors!

These local organizations have also shown they stand against racism with us! We appreciate the College of Charleston for donating meeting space at its Lowcountry Graduate Center and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce for donating meeting space at its Catalyst Center for our REI workshops, and Apple Spice for providing our REI workshop participants with nutritious, delicious lunches at a special rate. We're also seeking breakfast, coffee, and corporate sponsors. If you're interested in standing against racism in this way, please contact our social justice coordinator, Tina Singleton, at tsingleton@ywca-charlestonsc.org. Thank you!

Thank you to our STAND AGAINST RACISM partners!

These organizations also stood against racism in 2022 by sending our anti-racism pledge to their staff and supporters:
