Join us for an empowering morning to celebrate International Women’s Day. We will discuss ways we can use our voices to make a positive impact and provide you the tools to feel confident talking about the issues that matter most to you. Then, we will have the opportunity to have a direct conversation with our Representatives about women’s issues including pay equity, support for survivors and health.
Whether you are new to advocacy or are a seasoned activist, this breakfast will be an opportunity to come together as a community of women supporting women.
Legislators include Represenative Dafna Michaelson Jenet and Senator Beth Martinez Humenik.
