We want to make this an open forum/discussion; conversations around the ongoing gen-der pay gap, the debates about health insurance/birth control, the cyber-bullying of wom-en such as Emma Watson or Ashley Judd who announce their feminism (male celebs too); and possibly Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.
The forum will take place on Thursday, April 23rd 2015, at the North Andover Senior Cen-ter from 1:30-3:00. Sign up is requested. Light refreshments will be served.
