INCITE! New Orleans is a community based collective of women of color feminists, survivors, mothers, organizers, workers, and activists organizing to end violence in the lives and on the bodies of women of color in the New Orleans area.
INCITE! New Orleans has established the Women's Health & Justice Initiative, which is now an INCITE! affiliate.
We are now working to establish The New Orleans Women of Color Resource & Organizing Center, which will serve as a resource and organizing hub to nurture grassroots organizing and activism to end violence against women of color, linking struggles against the violence of poverty, incarceration, environmental racism, housing discrimination, economic exploitation, population control policies, medical experimentation, and forced sterilization.
The Center will house a radical women of color lending library, a cluster of computers for community access, meeting space, and a comfortable environment for women and girls to hangout. The Center will provide a host of movement building and leadership development programs, activities, and resources to end violence against women of color.
