A transfer of knowledge across generations can be our key right now to advancing understanding on differing views on the issue, helping today’s students discern their stance, and collectively strengthening our civic participation.\n\nFeaturing Gloria Steinem and moderated by writer, trailblazer, social advocate, and high school senior Sydne Clarke, this panel discussion joins together extraordinary writers and leaders of historic movements with an inquisitive, young journalist for an intergenerational discussion about reproductive rights, activism, and finding one’s own voice in the court of public opinion. \n\nYou’ll hear from Gloria Steinem, Austin Channing Brown, and Carmen Rita Wong, \nas a new generation wonders,\n\n--What histories do we recall together with these seasoned voices? \n\n--What past lessons do we help invoke to make clear the serious long-term impact \nof Supreme Court rulings on their lives and the lives of their loved ones? \n\n--And how can we make movements more inclusive?\n\nWe hope you join us for this important conversation.\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nGloria Steinem is a writer, lecturer, political activist and feminist organizer.
