Visions for Equality- MCNOW

Thursday, August 24, 2017, 7:30pm – 9:00pm

Olney
Maryland

In honor of Women's Equality Day on August 26, join MCNOW as we create submissions for NOW's Visions for Equality project.

Visions for Equality is dedicated to capturing a vast spectrum of images and stories, each one informed by the unique experiences of an individual, and sharing them with the world. V4E is about uniting people who experience gender discrimination in all of its iterations — and together voicing a demand for equal rights under the law.

Our vision at NOW is a world where gender equality is woven into the fabric of our constitution. An amendment guaranteeing equal rights to people of all genders — closing gaps in coverage, curtailing the rollback of protections, and ensuring that sex discrimination is put under strict scrutiny in the courts, is what we have dreamed of for decades.

Learn more about the project at visionsforequality.com.
