A Call to Women of Color 2026
About this Event
For the first time ever, we are hosting a full weekend of amazing events to honor 20 years of community and sisterhood. Please join us!
Incredible women. Incredible vision. Incredible sisterhood.
A Call to Women of Color (ACTWOC) is an annual event that focuses on empowering women of color to engage in conversation and to promote healthy living among women.
What is the secret to our success?
It’s simple: ACTWOC is organized by women of color for women of color. Together we can make great things happen.
This year, we are proud to be celebrating 20 YEARS of Sisterhood with a full weekend of programming!
