The Stand Against Racism is the YWCA's national movement to bring people together from all walks of life - across the country - and raise awareness that racism still exists. The methodology of the Stand Against Racism is to bring together like-minded organizations that share in our vision of eliminating racism and celebrating the richness of diversity.
We invite groups of any size that are located within the geographic area of a Participating YWCA Association, to become a Participating Site by hosting a "Stand." (The YWCA Greater Pittsburgh is participating- most zip codes in the area are eligible. Feel free to call Mell Steven Cosnek at 412.255.1466 with any questions.)
We also invite individuals to look up Participating Sites in their community and come out to take a Stand Against Racism.

Roly-Poly gives girls the chance to learn more about Roly-Poly bugs, ions and how these amazing crustaceans help detoxify the earth's soil. The game gives girls the chance to help the heroine, Roly-Poly, to take on big polluters by making our planet's soil healthy again. As she's successful, she climbs higher and higher, into the sky, to finally see a vibrant field of sunflowers, thriving in the sun. Who knew a little Roly-Poly bug could do all that?!?
