Join us for a presentation from CT State Representative Jillian Gilchrest on her new book, Feminist Advocacy: Championing Gender and Social Justice!
In this insightful and inspiring book, Gilchrest takes us through the process of first identifying as a feminist, to learning to actively listen to a diversity of people’s lived experiences, which serves to guide advocacy efforts, to fighting fiercely for a women’s right to choose and more.
