YWCA Evansville Launches Brand Awareness Campaign
YWCA Evansville, alongside YWCA USA and more than 220 other YWCAs around the country, launched a brand awareness campaign, meant to reintroduce YWCA, share its life-changing work, and invite people to join us on our mission to empower women and eliminate racism.
“As a presence in the local area for over a century, we are excited to reinforce our commitment to the community through this fresh branding campaign,†said CEO Erika Taylor of YWCA Evansville. “Increased public awareness about the work we do allows our reach to broaden and our mission to be renewed in the hearts of our supporters.â€
YWCA Is On A Mission
For over 150 years, YWCA has been at the forefront of the most critical social movements — from voting rights and civil rights, to affordable housing and pay equity, to violence prevention and health care reform. But despite important work being done on the ground by more than 220 local associations across the country, not enough people understood the size, impact, or relevance of YWCA.
Today, YWCA is one of the top 25 largest charities in the U.S., according to NonProfit Times, with total revenues of more than $775 million. YWCA helps more than 2 million women and children each year in the U.S., and worldwide, YWCA serves 25 million women and girls in 120 countries. At YWCA Evansville, we:
-   Provideover16,000nightsofsafesheltereachyeartodomesticviolencevictimsand homeless women recovering from substance abuse.
-   Assistover250at-riskEvansvillegirlseachyearthroughourLiveY’ersafterschool, mentoring, and scholarship programs.
- Engagethepublicinongoingeffortstowardwomen’sequalityandracialjusticeby taking a leading role in activities relating to Stand Against Racism, Women’s Equality Day, and Equal Pay Day.
But there is still unmet need. With this brand awareness campaign, we invite the public to join us on a mission, and help even more women, children, and families.
YWCA Evansville is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families and strengthen our community. YWCA Evansville is part of an international movement serving over 2 million in the United States and 25 million worldwide.

Less Regulation, More Recycling
This year’s gathering of the General Assembly is nearing the halfway point. Lawmakers are dedicating many hours in session debating policies, listening to testimonies from fellow Hoosiers and voting on proposals for new laws. While the hours can be long, the outcome of enacting new laws to keep Indiana moving forward is always worth the time commitment.
All legislative proposals authored by members of the House of Representatives must be heard in their assigned committee by Thursday, Jan. 28. If a bill isn’t heard in committee before that date, it can no longer be considered for a new law this year. Those bills that are heard and approved by committee members can move forward in the process and considered by all 100 House members.
One of my proposals, House Bill (HB) 1053, is progressing through the legislative process. If enacted into law, this proposal would ensure uniform guidelines for “auxiliary containers†like grocery bags, cups and bottles while supporting vital recycling programs.
Currently, there are units of government considering taxing or banning recyclable containers like grocery bags and soda cans. My proposal will streamline the regulation of packaged goods, so every unit of government is uniform with state policy.
In addition, HB 1053 would promote keeping our environment clean by encouraging all packaging material to be recycled at local recycling plants. Recycling is important because it helps protect the environment, cut down on waste placed in our landfills and preserves natural resources for future generations. Because of the many benefits of recycling, it’s vital we develop a system that fosters participation, which can more easily be established if we work together as a state to develop guidelines on the tax placed on these auxiliary containers.
After being supported by the House Committee on Government on Regulatory Reform, my bill can now be considered by all members of the House. As this bill moves through the process, please contact me at (317) 232-9833 or through email at h75@iga.in.gov. To watch committee meetings and session hearings online, visit www.iga.in.gov.
