    TO BE OR NOT TO BE … A DEMOCRACY

           

         - by Robin H. Rafaelidys, Mytilini

    “Folks keep asking what we are going to do about the filibuster? I think they ought to ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, what are they going to do about voting rights? The question really is not where I stand on the filibuster. That's a Senate rule. The most fundamental question is where you stand on voting rights. We wouldn't have to have this debate about the filibuster at least on this issue if the folks on the other side would do the right thing and stand for voting rights.... I'm a member of the Senate. I respect its traditions. I'm honored to be there to represent the people of Georgia. But the issue of voting rights is about the democracy itself. It's much bigger than any Senate rule.” ~ Senator Raphael Warnock, D-GA

    DAGR KAFENEION: Book Discussion

    “In Our Prime: How Older Women are Reinventing the Road Ahead”

    A group reading and discussion of Susan J. Douglas’ thoroughly considered view of the 50+ stereotypes in our society.

    In a deep examination of ageism, baby-boomer feminism, the media, and the political and economic structures that continue to dictate the false narratives of middle-age women, the author puts forth an urgent case for a stereotype-defying activism of “Lifespan Feminism”: a bridge between young women and “fuddy-duddy” second-wave feminists to harness momentum for a brighter future.

    Come, one! Come, all! Harness that future!
    These discussions concern women and men and a balanced discussion is our goal.

    Hosted by DAGR Reps-at-Large Sarajane Kidd Leone and Rebecca Lieb.
    Born from a DAGR Women’s Caucus post by Charity Moschopoulos noting the recent publication.

    Books have arrived! For those of you who had put in an order, contact Sarajane at 694 260 2055 or [email protected] to arrange a rendezvous to collect your copy.

    Or if you missed out on ordering the hard copy, you can purchase an e-book/audiobook here and start reading!

    We will also discuss briefly the renewed energy to enact the ERA and walk you through steps set out by the Global Women’s Caucus to pressure the Senate to follow through and pass the ERA.

    You will receive an email with the ZOOM link after you RSVP and in good time before the event begins.
