INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence New Orleans Chapter and the
New Orleans Women’s Health & Justice Initiative Seeks Books
by Women of Color authors for a Radical Women of Color Lending Library Project

The New Orleans Women of Color Resource & Organizing Center (a joint project of the WHJI and INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence – New Orleans) 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, and medical experimentation and forced sterilization. The Center will provide a host of movement building and leadership development programs, activities, and resources to end violence against women of color; the Center will also house a radical women of color lending library, a cluster of computers for community use, meeting space, and a comfortable environment for women and girls to hangout.

We are currently in the process of establishing a radical women of color lending library. We are seeking donations of books by women of color authors across genres, topics, interests, and subjects including but not limited to:
