Who We Are

PCC’s campus-based Women’s Resource Centers (WRCs) apply the principles of intersectional, multicultural feminism to resist and dismantle sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression in order to support the success of all women and gender minority students.

As a feminist space, WRC staff would like to acknowledge the myriad ways that trans and non-binary people, people ofcolor, and especially transgender women of color have been left out of our movements. We are open to students of all gender identities and are enthusiastically working to ensure we are centering the experiences of all women in our services.
