Honoring the Past
Participants will begin the day by attending an ERA rally in remembrance of the 1923 Women's Rights Convention where the ERA was first proposed.
Taking Present Action
Participants will read the 2020 Youth Declaration of Sentiments, and afterwards attend an expert-led workshop where they will prepare statements for a mock convention.
Discussing the Future
We will end the day with a group discussion and brainstorm for future equity activism. What can be done, what will we do, and how will we do it?
