What are you doing to celebrate Women's Equality Day? Join us this Saturday at the Ali Center!

Women’s Equality Day is an event celebrated around the nation commemorating the passage of the 19th amendment and women’s right to vote. The Office for Women, together with several agencies, including the League of Women Voters, Delta Sigma Theta, the University of Louisville Women’s Center and JCPS (Georgia Chaffee TAPP School and Grace James Academy) is hosting a celebration on August 26, 2023 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Muhammad Ali Center.

The theme of the event is “Our Voices Matter” and will highlight the ways that women and gender diverse individuals champion advocacy and civic engagement. Artwork by students at the Georgia Chaffee TAPP school will be on display, the Real Young Prodigys and students from TAPP will be performing, Dr. Jabani Bennett will lead a community movement exercise and there will be an opportunity for engagement in a community art project.

The panel, “Our Voices Matter” will feature student and community advocates who will focus on gender equity and climate change, transgender rights and advocacy for pregnant and parenting students.
