Her question was: “Mom\, did you know that the Mansion Farm was a stop on the Underground Railroad?”

SUMMARY:NOW's Feminist State of the Union\, featuring Hillary Clinton
DESCRIPTION:Please join the National Organization for Women for the Second Annual Feminist State of the Union\, featuring five stupendous feminist leaders:  Hillary Rodham Clinton (needs no introduction!); Joseline Garcia\, Co-Founder & Executive Director at UN-PAC; Dr. C. Nicole Mason\, President and CEO Emeritus of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR); Margaret Haung\, President and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center; Maya Wiley\, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and The Leadership Conference Education Fund; and Janai Nelson\, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. \nClick here to register … Click here for more info …  Click here for full speaker bios … \nNOW’s president Christian Nunes writes\, “I am excited and honored to announce that former Secretary of State and feminist icon\, the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton will join me for a special conversation about the current state of feminism as part of this important event.  As a woman who has dedicated her life to breaking barriers and advancing women’s rights\, Secretary Clinton will offer an invaluable perspective as we take on new challenges that prevent us from achieving full equality.” \n“It’s been a transformative year for women – one that’s given rise to unprecedented attacks on our rights\, our bodies\, our voices\, and our very identities as Americans. From catastrophic abortion bans to hundreds of new anti-LGBTQIA+ bills (since January alone) to attempts to ban basic discussions around menstruation\, it’s clear that without real\, tangible action\, women face an increasingly Dystopian future. In this environment\, it’s vital that we – as feminists – consider the true state of our union and what we must do to change course. To facilitate discussions around these critical topics\, we invite you to join us for the second annual Feminist State of the Union virtual event on April 27\, 2023.” \n  \n
