This call will feature our work on the 40 Days of Action sponsored by our partner, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival.
You'll meet and hear from WILPF members who've organized teach-ins, participated in rallies and marches, stormed their state capitols, witnessed arrests and been arrested along with thousands of secular and religious demonstrators across the US. You'll get to weigh in on what's next. We'll talk about how the 4 pillars of the PPC intersect with the mission and values that WILPF members pursue on many fronts in many ways.
The public part of this call will begin at 7:30pm eastern/4:30pm pacific. Members are asked to join as usual at 7pm eastern/4pm pacific.
WILPF has a 103-year history of voting with our feet in solidarity with peacemakers, community activists and dissenters on a wide range of issues that affect women, families and peace.
Today we're still organizing and empowering grassroots women activists across America. Join the call to learn more!
