Gender Equity Forum


Purpose: This forum works to remove barriers to equal opportunity for women and nonbinary individuals. We educate and engage members in positive action that they can take to help affect change.
Forum Co-Facilitators: Due to the complexity of gender equity issues we have identified, each of our four
co-facilitators will head up one action group.
​

     Services Action Group - Carolyn Martin (she/her)
           - This group will work on improving access to reproductive health care services in our area.
     Education Action Group - Renee Eickman (she/her)
          - This group will organize events (including protests) to educate the community on gender equity issues.
​     Organizing Action Group - Alta Price (she/her)
​          - This group will coordinate meetings and communications for the forum.

Meetings: The dates and times of the entire forum's monthly meetings are yet to be determined. Each action group may also meet individually to accomplish their goals. For Zoom meetings, email Alta for the Zoom link; please state the name and date of the meeting.
Facebook Group: For more Gender Equity Forum news, join our Gender Equity Forum Facebook group. 

Upcoming Meetings and Events


Gender Equity Forum meeting 
Tuesday, February 25th at 5:30 pm -  in person​


Swirl Wine Bar

Gender Equity Forum

Join us at Swirl Wine Bar (in the BettPlex) to talk about what we can do locally to resist the ongoing attacks on our reproductive freedoms and LGBTQ+ community members. We welcome people from both Iowa and Illinois, as needs and possible responses will vary. We are trying to form a coalition to work on both women's issues and LGBTQ+ issues, so we welcome involvement by other groups.

If you can't make this gathering, check back here for future opportunities. Or, contact me to get involved in other ways.


Contact Alta Price (she/her) with any questions.
