We are holding this benefit to fight violence against women in our neighborhoods.  Stand Up ANEW will support our new women’s organizing work. We are working hard to bring the voices of diverse low and moderate income women into campaigns to improve the lives of women in our neighborhoods, and to develop women leaders who can raise awareness about economic issues that they identify as big problems in their lives, such as equal pay, domestic violence, and child care, and work for change.
Stand Up ANEW will honor the memory of Office Manager, Ka’Sandra Wade, who was brutally murdered on New Year’s Eve, 2012, in a domestic violence shooting.
