Activating Social Change

Thursday, March 2, 6pm ET

Throughout history, the most powerful advocates for human rights, healthcare, diversity, and workplace equality have been women. These communicators—who themselves had their own rights restricted—were the first to break through society's historical silence on issues, long considered verboten. From the beginnings of the suffrage movement, through Civil Rights, through the fight for gender equality, these pioneers gave voice to these issues, and made the rest of the country care.
