From the Women’s March to the Women’s Convention, we’ve seen how powerful we are when we gather together, share space and lift each other up. While the official Women's March anniversary event will take place in Nevada, Women’s March Chapters are organizing exciting state-specific anniversary events throughout the anniversary weekend, from marches to legislative actions to community events to voter registration drives. Together, we will show this administration that women are not backing down. Residents of Houston County, MN and regional friends are therefore invited to meet and organize around the theme of "Power to the Polls" on Sunday, January 21, 2018 for the Women's March anniversary weekend. Participants should meet from 12 Noon - 3 p.m. at The Wired Rooster Coffee Shoppe in the county seat of Caledonia, MN (map). Women as well as men of all ages are welcome to participate. Guest speakers may also ask to speak before, after or as part of the main portion of the event. The event will begin with a Brief Welcome by Caledonia resident Janette Dean who is an Environmental Policy and Human Rights Advocate and Organizer*. During the event, beverages and food can be ordered at anytime and each arriving participant will join roundtables learning about and sharing: Four common types of justice: Social Justice, Racial Justice, Environmental Justice and Climate Justice (related to equal rights, U.S. Constitutional guarantees and international human rights) Personal Experiences and Current Concerns in being denied the four types of justice Candidates whom we believe would best fulfill these types of justice Key Laws and Policies being proposed and created to fulfill justice for all (including U.S. equal rights via the Equal Rights Amendment which needs ratification by just two more states) Ideas to Engage, Register and Mobilize Voters A brief summary from each roundtable will conclude the event, and ongoing information will be shared with participants leading up to elections. Please join WOMEN'S MARCH HOUSTON COUNTY, MN & ADJACENT COUNTIES in CALEDONIA for the first anniversary of the Women's March! * Janette Dean recently helped support CA's bold climate legislation, helped NV ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and supported their environmental and social justice legislation, wrote a La Crosse Tribune Op-Ed about the need for bold climate laws, and was part of the St. Paul Stop Line 3 rally and Public Utilities Commission meeting against Enbridge's proposed new tar sands oil pipeline. Dean has a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology (2015), is an alumna of UNR and USC, and lived on the West Coast for many years.
