CWA Programs

CWA directs many programs that in some way further our goal - to undermine racism and cultivate economic self-sufficiency, political empowerment, leadership development, and racial equality for women.

Our main approach is to create an environment of health and wholeness - one that does not support social injustice and racial disparity. By teaching tolerance and inclusiveness, it is our hope that society will learn to heal itself.

Many of our programs enable low income women to achieve financial self sufficiency by learning their economic and political rights - thus preventing their incarceration for committing poverty crimes.
