As the Supreme Court prepares to reconvene on October 4th, it is imperative we make our voices heard regarding reproductive rights. People in Texas are facing near complete bans on abortion and vigilante justice and the Supreme Court allowed it.
A short speaking program will take place from 11:30am-12pm with march set to begin at 12:00pm.
The power is with the people so it's time for the people to march.

Sponsored by AAUW FL Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

AAUW Florida invites you to participate in a series of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) discussions sponsored by the AAUW FL DEI Committee.

This first discussion deals with implicit bias. We all have biases. When we are aware of these attitudes and stereotypes, we call them explicit. But we also have implicit attitudes and stereotypes that may influence our thinking in ways we‘re not even aware of and can’t totally control. This dialogue will focus on identifying our implicit biases and ways of addressing them.
