Taking action together for the future we desire!

SAVE THE DATE!

In the early 1900's a group of courageous, risky, amazing women dared to push the boundaries of political protest, convention, and even their own personal health and safety to secure women's voting rights. Now, fewer than 100 years later, we celebrate their arduous journey as well as their stellar achievements by gathering to view Iron Jawed Angels, an HBO film that recounts the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Starring Hilary Swank and Frances O'Connor, Iron Jawed Angels invites women to a poignant and informative look at our own history and compels us into a future that we are yet to write and influence.

After first discovering this film, a small group of independent, bi-partisan, and passionate women in Seattle decided to invest their own money, rent a fabulous venue, and invite other women to join them. They sought to celebrate and learn, to invite conversation and solidarity, and to remember those who have pioneered our rights. This event is the first initiative into that desire. And you are invited!
