Ready to End our She-cession?
What on earth will our world look like after the pandemic and a crisis in Washington? Will you and the two million US women who lost their jobs in the 2020’s she-cession have a say in what happens next — and if you did, what exactly would you want? How would you get it?
Instead of hearing more news about an angry white mob at the Capital shouting violence, join uson Monday evening, February 22, 8:00 pm EST to learn how we can create a livable future—this time, described by women’s voices, hopeful and alive with real knowledge and ideas. It’s another Zoom of Our Own at An Economy of Our Own you won’t want to miss.
RSVP here (for free!) to join us Monday.
Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, with the LBJ School of Public Affairs, U of Texas, and lead author of the white paper “America’s Recovery from the 2020 ‘Shecession’” will share what she’s learned during the pandemic and what needs to change — at home, on the job, and in our culture — to ensure women don’t lose generations of progress.
Karen Bassarab, senior program officer at The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, will suss out what’s needed to build a resilient and equitable global food system.
Farah Tanis, executive director of Black Women’s Blueprint, will lay out a powerful vision for a future in which Black women — and therefore all of us — are truly free.
Led in conversation by AEOO’s Digital Director Carmen Rios — a feminist superstar who has been writing about workplace inequality, working-class women, and feminism beyond capitalism for over 10 years — our panel will share action steps we can take to begin building an economy of our own.
Imagine how our billionaire-run economy could get real with a changed purpose, one that finally insists on meeting the tangible needs of our families, of women and our mother earth.
What do YOU imagine it could look like? Come dream with us Monday. (RSVP is free!)
