Transforming

where we live so that everyone can belong, participate and thrive.

Women Transforming Cities (WTC) is a grassroots non-profit organization based in Vancouver, Canada working to dismantle intersecting systems of oppression with equity-deserving genders and movements. We do this by building the participation and power of people historically excluded from civic processes and decision-making to radically shift power to women and under-represented communities through a feminist, intersectional lens.

Donate to our fundraiser

With your support, we can create so many wins for equity at the local level with far-reaching impacts on our communities. WTC is running a summer fundraising campaign with a goal of $20,000. Your tax-deductible donation will help us to expand our current programs, create tools to share with our communities and pay people fairly for this work.

There has never been a more important time for WTC to be advocating in the city. Help us sustain this work today.
