Building the Global Girl Revolution
Public Talk with Shelby Knox
Saturday, April 6th, 4pm at USM Wishcamper Center in Portland, ME
You couldn't have missed it: girls all around the world are standing up and making themselves heard...and making real change. What's inspiring the Malalas of the world? How are they making themselves heard over all the adults? And who are the adults that are listening to and helping them?
Join for a look at what is driving, supporting, and amplifying girls’ activism worldwide and a conversation about how you can help strengthen the global girl revolution. Reserve your seat today! This talk will be given by Shelby Knox.
Shelby Knox is nationally known as the subject of the Sundance award-winning film, The Education of Shelby Knox, a documentary chronicling her teen activism for comprehensive sex education and gay rights in her Southern Baptist community. Shelby travels across the country as a feminist organizer, doing workshops and activism in the name of reproductive justice and sexual health. Shelby lives in New York City, where she is working on a book about the fourth wave of feminist activism and plotting the revolution via Twitter, @ShelbyKnox.
