Down About Elections? You Need the Ms. Luncheon

Dear Dry,

At times like this you need your feminist friends. Although we are disappointed in many of the outcomes of the 2014 Elections, we will never lose our fighting spirit.

Join us for the “Ms. "Wonder Awards Luncheon [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=82464 ] at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on November 19, 2014 to celebrate our 42nd Anniversary. We’re proud to announce that we will be honoring grassroots activists fighting to raise the minimum wage and student activists fighting to end sexual assault on campus.* *

We’ll also be celebrating with Ms. founding Editor *Gloria Steinem*, executive editor *Katherine Spillar*, FMF chair *Peg Yorkin*, co-chairs of the Anniversay Event *Alix Ritchie* and *Elizabeth Hemmerdinger*, dozens of co-sponsors including *National Organization for Women*, *National Congress of Black Women*, *Planned Parenthood*, *American Association of University Women*, *Americans United for Separation of Church and State*, *Catholics for Choice*, *National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association*, *National Network to End Domestic Violence*, *NARAL Pro-Choice America*, and over 400 feminist leaders and activists.
