MDWA Legislative Movie Night

Legislative Movie Night

In preparation of Jessica Neuwirth's visit to Appleton, we will view Equal Means Equal at our January Legislative movie night at Xe54 Wine Bar.  This documentary is based on Jessica's book by the same name.

Because the Legislative committee's budget will be going towards expenses for the Feb 18-19 events, we will take up a collection to cover the cost of any food. Cash bar, of course.

Wednesday, January 29th from 4:30 pm - 8:00ish pm 

Networking: 4:30 - 5:30

Movie: 5:30 - 7:30ish (w/intermission)

Discussion: 7:30 - 8:00ish

Movie Title: Equal Means Equal

Synopsis from EqualMeansEqual website:

EQUAL MEANS EQUAL offers an unflinching look at how women are treated in the United States today. Examining both real-life stories and precedent-setting legal cases, director Kamala Lopez uncovers how outdated and discriminatory attitudes inform and influence seemingly disparate issues, from workplace harassment to domestic violence, rape and sexual assault to the foster care system, and the healthcare conglomerate to the judicial system. Along the way, she reveals the inadequacy of present laws that claim to protect women, ultimately presenting a compelling and persuasive argument for the urgency of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
