Transform where we live into places where everyone can belong, participate, and have social, economic, and political equity.

Women Transforming Cities works to dismantle intersecting systems of oppression and promote genders and movements that are equitable, in order to transform where we live into places where everyone can belong, participate, and have social, economic, and political equity.

In the community, we work with equity-deserving communities, front-line organizations, labour groups, and movements to…

• Deliver training on intersectional feminism, community organizing, engagement, grassroots campaigning, and understanding local government.
• Organize and advocate for more equitable policies, programs, and systems at a local level.
• Develop resources to support civic engagement, democratic participation, and local advocacy.

At the systems level, we work with local government decision-makers to…

• Amplify the priorities of equity-deserving communities at city halls.
• Challenge policies and decisions that harm marginalized communities.
• Advocate to decision-makers to adopt and implement equity-driven policies.
• Create tools and resources to accelerate action on equity, justice, and decolonization.
