Mission:
The Arkansas Public Policy Panel is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has focused on citizen involvement in public policy since 1989. Originally organized as the Panel of American Women in 1963, the group addressed issues of racial, ethnic and religious prejudice throughout the sixties and seventies working through community groups and providing in-service teacher training, special curricula, and structured classroom presentations in Arkansas public schools. In the 1980s the Panel broadened its work to include a variety of public policy issues affecting low income and minority citizens and in 1989 the Panel changed its name to reflect that work.

Mission:

The Women's Project is a community-based, non-profit organization committed to the elimination of sexism and racism.

Since 1981, the Women's Project has provided community education and assisted women in organizing around these primary issues:

  •violence against women, children and people of color;
  •women's economic issues, especially those affecting low income women;
  •social justice issues such as sexism, racism, homophobia, ageism, ableism, classism, and anti-Semitism.

We work to create a world where opportunity is not determined by gender and race, and where there is true democratic equality in which women and people of color have self-determination at every level of society. Working on a project-by-project basis, we try to address those social issues that others are afraid or reluctant to address.
