The next movie night is November 27, 2023. Watch If Beale Street Could Talk on Netflix.

It stars an ensemble cast that includes KiKi Layne, Stephan James, Colman Domingo, Teyonah Parris, Michael Beach, Dave Franco, Diego Luna, Pedro Pascal, Ed Skrein, Brian Tyree Henry, and Regina King.

“A Timely Update on Key National Legislation and the Status of Bipartisan Efforts in Congress”
Presented by Kathleen Farrell
The Equal Rights Amendment, Title IX, and the Pregnant Workers Protection Act, among many other bills affecting women and girls, are currently hot topics in the news. We care deeply about this legislation but find it difficult to keep up with it.
Fortunately, St. Louis Branch Member Kathleen Farrell has offered to present us with the most current updates and changes in key national legislation.
Kathleen will also give us insight into how our legislators are operating to move bills forward – is it really as divided as it seems in Washington, DC or is bipartisanship still alive? Join us for this enlightening and energizing session with Kathleen.

Women typically are paid less than 80 percent of 
what men are paid – less for women of color. Use AAUW’s free Work Smart online workshop (https://salary.aauw.org/) to learn how to ask for more.
