Social Justice Resources
The WCPA is committed to providing our community with resources and opportunities so that we can help make an impact on issues of racial and social justice. As parents of young children, it is up to us to raise the next generation so that they see equitably, despite the color of one's skin, and are advocates for those who are oppressed.
