The first of two community dialogues featuring Women’s Rights: Past, Present and Future, will be held November 12. It is sponsored by the Civic Education Center, the Ethics Center at Fresno State University, and the League of Women Voters of Fresno.

Both events celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th amendment to the Constitution which guarantees women the right to vote

The first community dialogue is a livestreaming event on November 12 from 4 to 5 p.m. It will feature four panelists moderated by Lindsay Callahan, Executive Director, United Way Fresno and Madera Counties. The panelists are Dr. Loretta Kensinger , Professor of Women’s Studies at Fresno State; Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims; Alejandra Salazar, Roosevelt High graduate and student at Stanford University; and Dezie WoodsJones, president of Black Women Organized for Political Action.

The speakers will discuss two topics: the historical and current importance of the 19th Amendment; and in what ways women and girls still are challenged to secure equal rights. The audience will be encouraged to ask questions.
