We are working on a CEDAW (UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) ordinance with the Pittsburgh City Council, to be introduced next month. You can read more about our efforts on the Pittsburgh for CEDAW website.
For September we have scheduled two events: The showing of the documentary “Mirrors of Privilege: Making Whiteness Visible”; and, later in the month, the presentation of Carol Urner and Ellen Thomas (co-chairs of the WILPF US Disarm/End Wars Issue Committee), “A Nuclear Free Future.”
