We have a remarkable number of excellent speakers booked, along with challenging panels, roundtables, and interviews. Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis opens on the first Friday night, along with greetings from Madeleine Rees, WILPF Secretary General. Joy Onyesoh, President of WILPF International, will greet us on the next Friday. Vandana Shiva will speak during the morning of the first Saturday session; Maude Barlow, Canadian Chair of Food & Water Watch and Paul Kivel, educator and activist, are scheduled to speak on the second Sunday.
Branches will offer panels and roundtables on various and fascinating issues. Other presentations include: The Americas & Colonialism, Indigenous Women Speaking Up, Social Justice Rising Up, Interviews, and the intersections of gender and racial disparities. There will be “HOW TOs” on membership and branch building, social media, feminist leadership, legislative success, and there will also be entertainment segments.
You and your friends can plan a picnic or a house party to participate together, or plan to spend some time in the cool of your living room and still be part of it all. The important thing is we can all be together, watching, listening, discussing (and yes, arguing!) even though we will be many miles, even oceans, apart. We are getting ready for our WILPF family reunion – and this time it will be zooming out into the entire world.
