NextGen America and FIERCE: Lehigh Valley are hosting a women's empowerment event in Bethlehem PA, conveniently located between NYC and Philadelphia.
2017 saw the silent rage of women grow into a collective roar. Let's come together and harness that roar into action. There will be speakers and vendors, along with future events people can sign up for to fight for a government that works for us. Issues that will be addressed include racism, LGBTQ, education, politics, health care, women's rights, and a youth element.
We are still confirming speakers and groups attending, but as of right now the groups tabling are:
Bradbury Sullivan
Citizens Climate Lobby-Lehigh Valley
Fair Districts PA
Fierce Lehigh Valley
Lehigh Valley Girls Rock
Lehigh Valley ROAR
