Founded in 1974, the Women’s Center was established to:
Dismantle, from a feminist perspective, all forms of oppression, including but not limited to those based on ability, age, class, ethnicity, gender, race, and sexual orientation.
Advocate for an equitable environment free from violence and harassment based on gender, race, and sexual orientation.
Create an anti-racist, non-sexist, queer-affirmative space where all people can feel valued and safe.
Facilitate and strengthen connections among people across lines of difference through programming and educational campaigns.
Integrate an appreciation of Women's Gender and Multicultural Studies across the disciplines.

State of Out Youth!

This week, the Women’s Center brings you some exciting news!  We will be sponsoring a trip to the “State of Out Youth” Town Hall tonight!  “What is this?” you may be wondering.  Well, a bunch of nationwide LGBTQA+ organizations came together under the goal to gather, share, and discuss the issues facing queer youth in America.  The GLSEN, The Trevor Project, the Human Rights Campaign. the True Colors Fund, and the New York Times GLBT and Allies Network are all coming together to make this happen tonight in New York City.  The event will feature a panel of youths from many different backgrounds all across America.  As youths ourselves, the students visiting from Ramapo will be VIP guests; we hope to contribute to the discussion on young queer people in America.  It feels so nice to see a genuine interest in the experiences of young queer people; I am very excited to see how this event turns out.  We’ll be certain to let you, our readers and fans, know!  For more information, visit www.stateofoutyouth.org




Also, Cyndi Lauper, performer and co-founder of the True Colors Fund, will be speaking.  You can’t top that!
