A Look Back and Forward at the Women's Movement in the U.S.
What's the state of the women's movement in the United States? Is it dead? Are we ready for a new women's movement? Join the National Women's Alliance (NWA) for a screening of the documentary "Sisters of '77," followed by a discussion with women community leaders and activists. "Sisters of '77" outlines a weekend in November 1977 where women across the United States dropped their daily routines to protest for a successful plan of action to ensure their equal rights.
It's happening on Thursday, July 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Cafe Mawonaj (624 T St. NW). For more information, or to RSVP, send an e-mail to generalinfo@nwaforchange.org or call 202/518-5411. NWA asks for a $5 donation for the discussion and movie; or $10 with a vegetarian and vegan friendly dinner.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
