Black History - Women of Color - Week Three

This Month the LU Women are shining light on some amazing women of color enacting positive change within the communities around them.

February 20th, the spotlight is on Ciara Taylor. Ciara Taylor is a founding member of Dream Defenders, a Floridian community organizing collective that fights for social justice and boldly challenges the status quo. During her time at Dream Defenders, she was the Political Director and then the Director of Political Consciousness. Ms. Taylor is well-versed in the structures of power that sustain inequality throughout the country and world and she works to show ordinary people how to make extraordinary differences within their communities. She now works with Code Pink to raise awareness of the many consequences of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and campaign to end war around the world.
