    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (August 7, 2019) – The League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley and the Sedona International Film Festival are partnering to celebrate the 99th anniversary of women winning the right to vote. On August 18, the League will host a food and wine reception, a showing of the film “The Empowerment Project” followed by a community conversation at the Mary D. Fisher Theater, 2030 W. Hwy 89A, Sedona. The reception begins at 6PM, the film at 7PM. The ticket price is $9 honoring the 99th anniversary.

    20190807_empowermentprojectAccording to Kathy Kinsella, President of the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley, ” The battle for women’s suffrage took place over a 75 year period and included marches, protests outside the White House urging President Wilson to support the effort, and even arrests and torture of the women protesters. It was a monumental victory for women in this country and we honor our foremothers for their legacy to us. Many of the original suffragettes did not live to see the battle won. Every time we cast our ballot, we honor them.”

    The food and wine reception will be from 6PM-7PM outside the Mary Fisher Theatre. Food and soft drinks are free; wine is available for sale inside the theatre.

    At 7PM, the film “The Empowerment Project” will be shown. The film documents the incredible journey of a crew of female filmmakers driving across America to encourage, empower and inspire the next generation of strong women to go after their career ambitions. Driving over 7000 miles from LA to NY over the course of 30 days, the film spotlights 8 positive and powerful women leaders across a variety of lifestyles and industries. In the process, the female filmmakers capture their own transformational journeys. The film challenges the audience to ask themselves, “What would you do if you knew you would succeed?” The film will be followed by an audience conversation led by Barbara Litrell, Past President of the League and a community activist.

    Tickets for the film are available online at www.sedonafilmfestival.org or at the box office. For information call 649-0135.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
