Elisa speaks with Shlain about shaping our culture through storytelling and its intersection with art, why it's so important to know all of our history, and how to bring a vision to fruition. Shlain is a pioneer of feminist media and knows how to make things happen!  The ERA Coalition is thrilled to support Let it Ripple, the National Women’s History Museum, and Women Connect4Good to bring leaders of equity, equality, and social justice together for this historic event, Nov. 1-4th, 2023. Hosted by nationally acclaimed radio host and Equal Voices/ERA Coalition, Elisa Parker, Equality Talks bridges the intersections of equality, justice, and social activism to unify as a collective and change the status quo.   Equality Talks focuses on the key facets of equality across all communities, including everything from gender, racial, economic and reproductive justice, to labor, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ rights.  For more information on Equality Talks go to www.ERACoaltion.org and www.EqualVoice.org.  Moving from silos to solidarity. The ERA Coalition was founded in 2014 to bring concerted, organized action to the effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA Coalition has a sister organization, the Fund for Women’s Equality, which promotes public education and outreach on the need for constitutional equality. Composed of more than 290 organizations across the country representing millions of people, the Coalition is a movement of movements focused on overall equality in the United States.   While the effort to amend the constitution to include sex equality began nearly a century ago, our renewed efforts are centered on women of color (African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latina, and Native American), gender-nonconforming and transgender women and girls, and nonbinary people – those who are most impacted by systemic inequities.     www.eracoalition.org | www.fundforwomensequality.org About Tiffany: Honored by Newsweek as one of the "Women Shaping the 21st Century," Tiffany Shlain is an artist, activist, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, national bestselling author, and the founder of the Webby Awards.
