Talking Transition | Advancing Economic Justice for Women and Families in New York City
New Yorkers now have a new mayor, so we are all coming to the table, engaging our communities and Talking Transition. Talking Transition is an open conversation about the future of New York City. The conversation will spread across the city – from an open tent filled with events on Canal Street opening this Saturday, to mobile “tents” that will be setup in public spaces throughout the boroughs, to online forums on talkingtransitionnyc.com.
For 26 years, NYWF has looked to its grantee partners for the most innovative solutions to the complex problems in their communities. With the knowledge and expertise of our grantee partners, we will convene a panel and seek to influence the new administration on policies that consider the unique challenges of women across New York City.
Please join us on Tuesday, November 12 from 2-3:30pm. RSVP: events@nywf.org
