Today, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the New York City Council launched the Young Women’s Initiative, a multiplatform coalition aimed at supporting young women in New York City and combating chronic racial and gender inequality in outcomes when it comes to healthcare, education, involvement in the justice system and economic development.
We built a new site and developed a campaign called #SheWillBe to understand the needs of young women.
We're kick-starting an urgent city-wide conversation w/ #YWOC in #NYC tonight! You inform policies & resources @SheWillBeNYC 8pm #SheWillBe
