The National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) is an organization of organizations that enlightens, inspires and connects more than 2,000,000 women. Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families and communities. The NCNW was founded by educator and strategist, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune.

In April, let's see how many miles we can accomplish by walking and/or running in the spirit of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune for the safety of women from sexual violence.
