June 25 from 6:00-7:30 pm: FAB (Feminist Activist Book) Group: Please join us to discuss Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger by Soraya Chemaly. Gloria Steinem says, "How many women cry when angry because we've held it in for so long? How many discover that anger turned inward is depression? Soraya Chemaly's book will be good for women, and for the future of this country. After all, women have a lot to be angry about!" Rage Becomes Her was a "Best Book of 2018" on the lists of NPR, Washington Post, Book Riot, Autostraddle, and Psychology Today. FAB meetings are hybrid so when you register, please indicate if you'll be joining in person or remotely. All are welcome! If you have any questions, email Beth Thompson at bthompson@wfri.org.

August 2 from 9am-3:30pm in Providence: Step Up, Stand Out & Get Elected - This campaign readiness workshop will provide you with a checklist of what to consider to get ready to run, what to consider to build a campaign pitch, and resources to set up your campaign.
