Feminist EventsSender: Jan BenDor Date: 2/22/2010 Please participate! Women's History in Washtenaw County: Documenting the achievements of the 60s and 70s and fostering the next wave of feminism--March 13, 1 pm. to 3 pm at Rackham Auditorium, U-M, part of the Bring It Back, Take it Forward weekend conference. March, 2010, is Women's History Month. It marks forty years since Washtenaw feminists helped to lead the second wave of the movement, taking action and creating change that spread around the country. Pioneers in Washtenaw County, Jan BenDor, Catherine McClary, Rachel Brett Harley, and Kathy Fojtik-Stroud will give a panel presentation on the history of the Women's Crisis Center, and its successors, the Assault Crisis Center and the Domestic Violence Project/Safe House. Other pioneers will contribute their accounts of the movement at the event and later as Podcasts recorded and made available by the Ann Arbor District Library. We invite all involved in the movement to stop violence against women, legalize and provide services for abortion and contraception, to stop war, to advance women’s equality in the workplace, to stop women from becoming trapped in the poverty underclass, and to eliminate discrimination against lesbians and transgendered people to join us in this celebration of past accomplishments. Bring It Back Take It Forward is working with the Progressive Student Alliance which has a conference the following weekend and the US Social Forum - Another World is Possible June 22-26, 2010 at Cobo Hall and Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit, as part of a larger vision to pass on the flame. http://bringitbacktakeitforward.org/
