Join us for an illuminating program on the history of the Woman’s Suffrage Movement and how it inspired the production of the Broadway musical SUFFs, followed by a conversation about the SAVE Act and how its passage would challenge the right to vote for many Americans.

Panelists are LWVUS President Dianna Wynn, Rachel Sussman, lead producer of Suffs and Dan Vicuna Senior Policy Director for Voting and Fair Representation of Common Cause. Contra Costa Librarian Manager, Alison Peters, will moderate the discussion.
