What is #JaggedJustice In Communities of Color?
WOCN posits that women, men and queer people of color, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, cysgender, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, heterosexual people of Asian, African, Latin, Native, and those of Middle-Eastern descent do not get access to pure justice.
Jagged justice is embedded in the limited choices or measures that we are forced to accept, which do not fully meet our needs, and leave ourselves, our families and our communities in pain and broken by the criminal, civil, and all other systems that claim to offer justice.
Our justice is jagged with centuries upon centuries of wounds passed on from generation to generation.
It is time that we collectively SPEAK OUT, TAKE ACTION, AND INSPIRE CHANGE!

2015 NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION SUMMIT AND CONFERENCE
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:
The Women of Color Network, Inc. (WOCN) is hosting the 2015 National Call to Action Summit and Conference on May 20-22, 2015 at the Town and Country Resort and Conference Center in San Diego, CA.
This National Summit and Conference is the result of over 25 national Call to Action Calls that began in April 2007 with over 700 women of color, male and mainstream advocates across the country to raise awareness regarding the workplace challenges that women of color advocates and activists face in their violence against women programs and the lack of women of color leadership within the anti-violence against women movement as a whole.
SUMMIT AND CONFERENCE PURPOSE:
EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
Participants will return to their local, state and national programs and initiatives with an individual and collective plan, resources and tools to make their daily service delivery and advocacy more responsive to women of color victims/survivors of violence.
