August 26th Highlights Women's Equality Day with Webinar
A National Day of Recognition of the Passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution

Women’s Equality Day, observed on August 26th, commemorates the hard-fought victory of women's suffrage in the United States. This day marks the anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote after decades of tireless advocacy and peaceful protest. The efforts of women from diverse backgrounds and communities across the country laid the foundation for this significant achievement, and their legacy continues to inspire the ongoing fight for gender equality in all aspects of public and private life.

The observance of Women’s Equality Day serves as a powerful reminder of the strides made toward gender equality, while also recognizing the work that remains. In recognition of Women’s Equality Day, the Louisiana Center for Health Equity (LCHE), in collaboration with 10,000 Women Louisiana and the National Congress of Black Women Greater Baton Rouge Chapter, is hosting the “Whole Woman: Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Healthy Communities” webinar. Join us on Zoom on Monday, August 26, 2024, from 6:30 p. m. to 8:00 p. m. for an evening of informative presentations and discussion regarding the outlook of women’s health in Louisiana. This exciting program is a sequel to the panel presentation given at the 2024 Women’s Health Day in May. This virtual event is being held to promote awareness about women’s health, to empower and activate women, and to move our state to improve maternal health outcomes by advancing education and awareness and advocating for policy change when needed.

For additional details and to register FREE, click here! (or use this link: https://WomensEqualityDayWebinar.eventbrite.com) Registration will close at noon on August 26.

Great advice from Livingston Parish Library Alliance

Dispelling Lies: The next time you hear someone say there are sexually explicit materials in children’s sections of our library (which is not true), here are some suggestions:

1. Ask this person to give you a title of an actual book. Look it up for yourself on the library’s catalog here: https://www.mylpl.info/. You can see for yourself that their claim is false. Then YOU don’t have to perpetuate the rumor and can stop it in its tracks.

2. Ask yourself if they have a hidden motive. Once you can prove their claims are false to them, and they continue to spread the lie, ask yourself why. You’d be amazed at how many people simply want to spread lies, even if they know it’s not true. That’s called chasing clout. They want to feel important.

3. See if they or a family member is running for office. Are they just jumping on the bandwagon of using the library as a punching bag to stir up drama so they can say they will swoop in and save the day from said fake drama? This is called pandering for votes.

4. They might need attention because something is missing in their life. Be a good friend. Invite them to lunch and then swing by the library to pick up free books, magazines, movies, or music for checkout. The library also contains self-help books!

5. Ask your friendly neighborhood librarian using this form (https://www.mylpl.info/contact-us) OR email the alliance and we will help prove it for you! [email protected].

Important Information….From the turn out pac website Give a Week to Save Democracy
Tuesday, August 13 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT
RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/ptp/event/649543/

Will you give a week of your time to save democracy? The single most effective way to help Democrats win in November is to knock doors and talk to potential voters in swing states. Leading grassroots organizations from across the country will join us to host a YouTube Live event to encourage volunteers to step up in a big way.

We'll be joined by special guests, Anderson Clayton, North Carolina Democratic Party Chair (at 26, the youngest party chair in the nation) and Lavora Barnes, Michigan Democratic Party Chair since 2019.

Progressive Turnout Project's flexible paid door-knocking program (www.turnoutpac.org/doors) is perfect for folks who are able to travel to a swing state and help on the ground for days, a week or longer. You can make $250 per day to offset your travel expenses. And we'll share other ways people can make a difference.

Knock Doors - Progressive Turnout Project Help turn out Democratic voters in swing states this fall and earn $125 for each completed door-knocking list.
