ALT "We are thrilled to join New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams in announcing the great collaborative work we have done since last year's launch of the Young Women's Initiative (YWI) 2.0. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to em- power Black girls and gender expansive youth of color, and advance a racial and gender equity agenda that prioritizes their immediate, and self identified needs. YWI 2.0 is a call to action for elected officials and philanthropists to invest in girls and gender expansive youth of color at the same rate they have historically invested in boys of color. Nearly ten years after WI's inception, we are still creating a pathway for youth engagement and leadership in advocacy so that they are actively shaping policies and initiatives that impact their lives and securing investments to help them succeed." - Quadira Coles
