"No One Asked You" Film Screening
2024-10-27 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Green Light Cinema, 221 2nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, Florida, 33701, United States
The League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area is sponsoring a film screening at Green Light Cinema!

Comedian, disruptor-extraordinaire Lizz Winstead (co-creator The Daily Show) and her team of activists from Abortion Access Front crisscross the U.S. to support indie abortion clinic staff and bust stigma.

Pop culture icons and next-gen comics fuel this six-year road film activating small-town folks to rebuild vandalized clinics, exposing wrongdoer politicians, domestic terrorists, and media neglect as the race to the bottom ensues.

﻿A bold call to action reminds us that when the patriarchy burns down, joy will prevail.

With only weeks left before the election, every conversation counts! Join us for a virtual training to learn how you can use Reach, a relational organizing app, to start conversations around Amendment 4 with people you already know. Using the app, you will easily support Yes on 4 and ensure people within your circle of influence are voting. Whether you’re connecting with friends, neighbors, or acquaintances, this app makes it simple to make a big impact, all from the comfort of your home.

Why the Reach app?The Reach app not only helps you spread the word about Amendment 4 but also lets you see who in your network hasn’t voted yet. You can encourage early voting, remind people to get to the polls, and ensure that voices in favor of protecting abortion rights are heard.

What you’ll learn:

How to quickly set up and use the Reach app.

Access key messaging and resources to share with your network.

Use the voter search feature to see who hasn’t voted and encourage them to vote early.

Can’t attend live? No problem! Register anyway to receive the recording.

Help Us Restore St. Pete's Diversity in Democracy Mural!
2024-09-29 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Florida
RSVP on Facebook

In late May/early June, and again, in September, the St. Pete “Diversity in Democracy” mural was vandalized with anti-voting messages.

Join the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area and Artists John Gascot and James Hartzell in restoring this downtown symbol of community and unity. Under their guidance, the public will have a hand in bringing this mural back to life!

The “Diversity in Democracy” mural was created by St. Pete artists John Gascot and James Hartzell and commissioned by the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area as a vibrant public art piece to encourage voting and celebrate our community’s diversity leading up to the 2020 election. This mural stands as a testament to the power of civic engagement. Despite this setback, artists Gascot and Hartzell remain undeterred. They are committed to repairing the mural and reinforcing its crucial message: that voting is more important now than ever.

Materials and bottled water (while supplies last) will be provided.

VOTER REGISTRATION WILL BE ON SITE DURING THIS EVENT.
