MWPC’s Celebration of Elected Women of Color
Since 1971, MWPC has been an advocate for equal representation for women in all areas of society. These awards recognize that their goal of attaining equality can only be reached through the concerted efforts of both men and women in all areas of professional and political life. The MWPC wants to specifically recognize the achievements of women of color as they have historically been un- and/or under-represented in public policy spaces.
From Protest to Power Part 1: Activists in Action
The focus of this event is to discuss turning protests and issue-based advocacy into productive legislation. A key concept of this series will be to clearly lay out the steps that are necessary to progress from protest to influencing legislation, regulation, budgets or other vehicles in order to codify political change in a meaningful way.
From Protest to Power Part 2: Electeds Enacting Policy
The focus of this event will be how elected officials have used policy to codify meaningful change in the fight against institutionalized racism. Our speakers will show us how to use energy from protesting to transform our communities through visionary policies.
