Please join us on Friday (21 October 2016) at 7:00 PM for a free screening of the documentary film Equal Means Equal.
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Examining both real-life stories and precedent-setting legal cases, director Kamala Lopez uncovers how outdated and discriminatory attitudes inform and influence seemingly disparate issues, from workplace harassment to domestic violence, rape and sexual assault to the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.

Please join us on Wednesday (19 October 2016) at 7:00 PM for “Race and the Constitution” with Marjorie Esman (Executive Director, ACLU of Louisiana).
Marjorie Esman says:
The U.S. Constitution has at times been interpreted in ways which propelled forward the cause of racial justice, but as originally drafted, was designed to deprive African Americans of fundamental rights. While civil rights have been expanded by Constitutional amendments and legislation, the legacy of denial persists. With issues of discrimination, profiling, and physical and structural violence still pervading American society, how does the Constitution still serve to deny full racial justice?
The talk is free and open to the public. Please join us.
