Stay tuned for upcoming dates of Justice Now.

Justice Now

Learn. Act. Change your community.

What is Justice Now?

The fight for justice isn’t just for tomorrow — it’s for right now.

Justice Now is YWCA Lancaster’s new monthly program to help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take action for racial and gender justice.

Each month, we’ll break down important topics — from identity and bias to LGBTQ+ inclusion and community change — so you can better understand these issues and be part of the solution.

This is your chance to move from caring about justice to fighting for it.
Justice needs you. Right now.

What We’ll Cover

Each month, we’ll explore themes that matter for real change:

  • Identity and Power: Who you are. How the world sees you. Why it matters.

  • Language for Change: Learn the words and ideas that build movements and break barriers.

  • LGBTQ+ Community 101 & Breaking the Gender Binary: Break the gender rules and build a world where everyone belongs.

  • Equity in Our Community: What real justice looks like in Lancaster County.

  • Uncovering Bias: How to spot hidden bias and push back against unfair systems.

  • Intersectional Action: Fight for justice that lifts up all parts of who people are.

Each session includes ways to take action — not just talk about change, but make it.
