About The Event
Allegheny College's Swing and Social Dance organization partners with other organizations geared towards equality and their local women's shelter, Women's Services Inc., to host a forum on both local and systemic problems concerning women's rights, as well as to celebrate progress for equality with free swing dancing lessons. This event is planned as Meadville, PA's contribution to the 1 Billion Rising Campaign. Voluntary donations will be accepted at the door to benefit Women's Services (www.womensservicesinc.org/aboutus.php) with suggested donation of $5. Baked goods (vegan and gluten-free as well) will be sold at the door with proceeds to benefit WSI. This is an open event. Formal dress suggested, but not required.
This will be a safe space for the night for anyone looking to discuss challenges facing women's rights, celebrate our success so far, and plan out how they can best contribute to a movement of over one billion rising for justice.
