Never has the need been greater than in 2017 for women to push back and move forward. Decades of progress is being turned back by the president’s administration and in North Carolina. The latest move is for the NC Legislature? One party? to take over the third branch of government – the judiciary – in NC. “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty,” as Thomas Jefferson said so long ago. Join us in Fayetteville on Saturday, Oct 21, 2017, to find out about situation in NC and to get some tools for the resistance.
Our conference theme is “Mobilizing Women NOW!” Get ready to get onboard!
Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is our keynote speaker. Marshall was first elected to public office in 1992 as a member of the North Carolina Senate representing the 15th Senate District. She was first elected as Secretary of State in 1996, becoming the first woman elected to a statewide executive office in North Carolina history. Marshall has won re-election three times and in 2008 received the second highest vote total of any candidate in the state. Marshall has been credited with bringing the office into the technological age by introducing e-commerce and providing online registration for lobbyists and businesses.
