The Wisconsin Women's Network gathers each year to celebrate gains in equity for women, and raise awareness of the work that still needs to be done. This year's event will take place on Facebook Live, on the theme of "I am Generation Equity: Realizing the Equity of ALL Women." A panel discussion on the theme will feature AARP Wisconsin state issues advocacy director Helen Marks Dicks, Suburbs for Equality founder Robyn George (pictured), and community organizer Ayomi Obuseh. Music will be provided by SistaStrings.
