Community Conversations

On October 26, 2015, we announced plans to restore and redevelop the former Bayview Correctional Facility into The Women’s Building – a long-term home for the girls’ and women’s rights movement in New York City.

Now, we need your help to shape the vision for The Women’s Building.

The voices, experiences, leadership, and participation of women, including formerly incarcerated women, are integral to the project at every stage, from conception to construction.

We’re looking for input from people who are doing vital work on issues like reproductive justice, police brutality, economic justice, gender justice, anti-violence, LGBTQ justice, transwomen’s rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, and more. Your ideas will help The Women’s Building achieve its full potential as a space that nourishes spirits, unleashes potential, and advances our shared goals of justice and equality.
