ABOUT US
Founded in April 2012, Unite Women New York Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 not -for-profit women’s organization that began it’s mission with a late night phone call the founder Desiree Jordan made in the early morning hours of February 19th 2012. It was this call that sparked a grassroots movement utilizing social media to galvanize thousands of women to march on 50 State Capitols on 4/28/12 for gender equality and autonomy for all American women.

Racial Equality & Justice
“To organize around anti-racism issues is great. But I will say white people must acknowledge how they have been racist themselves at one point to be open to the fact that in this society, whether they want it or not, the system will use them as pawns in the game of racism among people of color and white people”.
