Women Protesting

Social Justice Workshop in New York on March 11—Join Us!

March 6, 2026

Focus Area

The social justice spectrum: Where do you stand? How do you have the most impact? Join WILPF US’s panel discussion and workshop to explore these questions.

Not all activism is loud, though loud voices take up the most space. Yet space does not equal impact. Peace builder, advocate, activist, feminist. Where do you stand on the social justice spectrum? 

We all have different resources available to us and unique barriers: geography, accessibility, time constraints, budget. All things considered, how can you have the most impact?

This panel discussion and workshop will explore these questions. You’ll hear from cross-generational social justice leaders. You’ll be invited to share your experiences and leave with new insights gleaned from others in the room. And common purpose. 

Now more than ever, we need feminist informed peace. Shared power. All voices in rooms where decisions are made. And outside the rooms we’re not invited into. On the streets, in corporate boardrooms, in government, in communities. 

The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom US (WILPF US) is hosting this side event during the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). Because now more than ever, how we show up and where we show up matters. Join us.

Date: Wednesday, March 11th

Time: 10 – 11:30 am ET

Place: Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, 275 Madison Ave, Suite 2114. (Note: entrance is on 40th St. between Madison and Park Ave.)

  • Linda Low, Executive Director, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom US (WILPF US)
  • Jordan Zaslow, Executive Director, Her Bold Move
  • King Downing, Program Director, New York Healing Justice Program, American Friends Service Committee
  • Genevieve Riccobini, Women, Peace and Security Officer, WILPF International
