    Free and open to the public. The forum will be recorded and posted on YouTube.

    Books for Learning

    Book cover for The Fall of Roe

    LWVAAC will take on another timely topic this October with a pre-election discussion of The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America by Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer.

    In The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America, Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story leading up to the Supreme Court decision. Their investigation charts a political and religious campaign to take down abortion rights and remake American families, womanhood, and the nation itself. In doing so, Dias and Lerer go beyond the traditional political narrative into the most personal reaches of American life. 

    Lerer, a national political correspondent for the New York Times, has written about American politics, power, and elections for nearly two decades; Dias, a New York Times national religion correspondent, has covered American religion, politics, and culture for fifteen years.

    Anne Arundel Community College adjunct faculty and LWVAAC member Cynthia Barry will moderate the discussion. The Fall of Roe is available at county public libraries. Email Niecy at [email protected] to request a copy from the LWVAAC lending library.

    Date: Wednesday, October 23

    Time: 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

    Place: Bates Legacy Center, 1101 Smithville St, Annapolis * NOTE: NEW LOCATION *

    Books for Learning, past and present

Over 100 years later, LWVUS and numerous local Leagues, including LWVAAC, have joined with more than 300 other organizations in the ERA Coalition to secure equal rights under the law once and for all.
