Thousands take part in this annual run and walk in unity against racial hatred and violence. Thank you for your contribution - proceeds from the Race Against Hate are used to further the mission of YWCA Evanston/North Shore, in particular efforts in the areas of racial justice and violence prevention. With this funding, YWCA assists children in our schools and local youth organizations to challenge their own prejudices and foster healthy, violence-free relationships among their peers; supports teenagers in examining their own relationships and practicing constructive ways to handle conflict and differences; and encourages adults to engage in constructive dialogue, interactive activities and meaningful action as related to racial justice.
