An engaging and transformative seminar featuring noted historian Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner and esteemed panelists will examine the past, present, and future of the women’s movement.

This event will also address the current impact of the pandemic on women that created a “she-cession” and focus on the future as women fight for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in order to enshrine equity once and for all in the Constitution. Panelists include Karen King, Erie County Commissioner of Public Advocacy; Ava Thomas, Operations Manager for the Family Justice Center; Shanaz Tejani-Butt, Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Sciences in Philadelphia; and Diana Cihak, founder of WomenElect Program and WEPac. Join us for this important conversation as we explore Equity with Resilience and Activism.
