The Women of Color Task Force is a committee of the Women's Studies Department. Our goal is to combat racism and to ensure full consideration of the interrelations among people of differing race, class, gender, sexuality, and nationality. Because of this goal, we need people from different backgrounds – both women and men, people of color and whites, students, faculty and staff, from all departments. Anyone who wants to fight against racism is welcome.
