Activists and Agitators
About Activists and Agitators
Activists and Agitators is an annual YWCA Columbus event dedicated to uniting the Columbus community and inspiring attendees to pursue greater social change together than we can achieve alone.
This event fosters dialogue, provides practical resources, and educates the community to promote empowerment and inclusion. We created Activists and Agitators with the belief that anyone and everyone can be an agent for social change. If we all commit to intentional, anti-racist, direct action and harm reduction, our collective impact will be profound.
Thanks for Engaging with Activists and Agitators 2023!

"I enjoyed every minute (of the program) . . . Ibram X. Kendi was amazing, I loved the panel and hearing their different views, and the poet brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart. I loved that the event was closed with the Briggs choir!" - Activists and Agitators Attendee (2023)
"I was so impressed by [Activists & Agitators], which I attended for the first time, and by the caliber and diversity of the people that were featured. The YWCA's activism on housing equity issues in Central Ohio is so critical." - Activists and Agitators Attendee (2022)
"So much greatness, from the creative and artistic expression to the hard-hitting statistics and challenges within our housing system. It was a beautiful confluence of all that needed to be said, with an impressive guest list, too." - Activists and Agitators Attendee (2022)
