We're back! The Women's Rights Committee is having a revitalization meeting. Yes, some battles will simply not go away yet we're determined to win the latest war that's being waged against women's rights.
Join us on May 20th at 7:00PM via Zoom (click to register) to learn about the ways that you can become a Defender of Democracy focusing on women’s rights. This year’s session of the Florida Legislature put forth numerous proposed bills that would negatively impact the health of women and children for years to come. At this time, these proposed bills were not approved, however the future is very uncertain regarding women’s rights in Florida and the nation.
Please come to learn about the many ways you will be able to advocate for women’s rights. Join us as we continue the fight we won once and need to win again.
