Join Indivisible Boca Raton at our next meeting: “Strong Women Leading the Resistance.”
Women have long been at the forefront of the fight for civil rights, free expression and bodily autonomy, often showing up first and facing the greatest backlash.
At a time when constitutional protections are being eroded, immigration enforcement is expanding and dissent is increasingly met with intimidation, women continue to lead the resistance on campuses, in courtrooms and in our communities.
Women leading the resistance brings together leaders from academia, student organizing and the legal system to examine what’s happening now, what’s at stake and how women are shaping the fight for justice in this moment.
Our panelists include:
Dr. Karen Leader: Professor at FAU and recognized speaker on academic freedom, and free expression.
May Diamond Rojas: Organizer and campus political leader at FAU with first hand experience of the impact of national politics on student participation and civic engagement.
Carey Haughwout: Former public defender with decades of experience in criminal defense and longtime advocate for civil liberties, due process and accountability in policing.
The moderator for the event will be Nick Ostheimer, leader of the FAU Democrats, political activist and community organizer.
*A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
