FREE Screening Miss Representation

Please join State Assemblywoman Sally Lieber and friends for a special screening of MISS REPRESENTATION
This thought-and-action provoking film exposes how American youth are being sold the concept that women and girls’ value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality. In response, MissRepresentation.org was created.  It's a call-to-action campaign that seeks to empower women and girls to challenge limiting media labels in order to realize their potential. 
Miss Representation is uniting people around a common goal: to spark millions of small actions that lead to a crossgenerational movement to eradicate gender stereotypes and create lasting change.
