ANNOUNCING THE 2021 PURPLE TIE AWARD HONOREES
YWCA and the Glendale Commission of the Status of Women invite you to our 3rd Annual Purple Tie Awards, honoring men who are working to end domestic violence in our community. Join us as we recognize Glendale City Church's Pastor Todd Leonard, Glendale Police Department's Sergeant Aaron Zeigler, and Good Morning Armenians' Mher Baghdasaryan for their work in supporting survivors and building a culture committed to ending domestic violence. On October 7th at 6PM, we will gather on the steps of City Hall for the awards program, followed by the lighting of City Hall in purple in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This event is free and open to the public. Attendees will follow public health guidance to ensure our community's safe participation (masks and social distancing).

MARKING THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF GLENDALE'S SUNDOWN TOWN RESOLUTION

One year ago today, the City of Glendale made history in passing a Sundown Town Resolution, the first in the State and the third in the nation, acknowledging and apologizing for the century-long exclusionary practices that prohibited African Americans from residing and prospering in the City of Glendale.

One year later, the City has been presented with policing data that demonstrates the disparate impacts of arrest policies on people of color in Glendale in Occidental College's new report Arrests: Prevalence, Racial Disparities, and Implications, An Analysis of Arrests From 2011 to 2019 in Glendale, CA. Read YWCA's statement on the report's key findings and the corresponding six policy recommendations made by the Coalition for an Anti-Racist Glendale to advance justice and equity in Glendale.
