RSVP for June 20/21, 2020 ~ Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington The Mass Poor People’s Assembly & Moral March on Washington is going digital! On June 20th and 21st, we will hold the largest digital and social media gathering of poor and low-wealth people, moral and religious leaders, advocates, and people of conscience in this nation’s history. A global pandemic is exposing, even more, the already existing crisis of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. On June 20/21, the 140 million poor and low-wealth people across this nation will be heard! Click here for Frequently Asked Questions.

We can move from crisis to justice with a Global Green New Deal for people and planet! Join Arundhati Roy and Naomi Klein in a conversation moderated by Asad Rehman and hear how we can begin to build a global transformation. -Joanne Helfrich, IHM

Celebrating 100 Years of Women's Empowerment! 100 Years: From Women Earning the Vote to Claiming Their Power Join Mount Saint Mary’s Center for the Advancement of Women on March 26, 2020, as we celebrate 100 years of women’s empowerment. *Early bird non-profit tickets are $25 through Feb 3, and $35 after that*... 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. Additionally, Mount Saint Mary's University celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, which is considered the most progressive blueprint ever for advancing women’s rights. Despite the progress women have made over the last century and the pledges of countless organizations and institutions to level the playing field for women, we are still far from parity. Join us to discuss a path toward future equity. #MSMUnstoppable #MSMU #MSMUWOMEN #DidYouKnow #TheReportontheStatusofWomenandGirls #TheReportontheStatusofWomenandGirlsInCalifornia #CenterForTheAdvancementofWomen #CA #California #LosAngeles #WomensStudies #StatusOfWomen #HerStory #SeeHer #Equality #TheReport #Equity #GenderParity #womensuniversity #WomenSupportingWomen #Onthisday #unstoppable
