    logo_leagueofwomenvotersClarkdale AZ (October 8, 2016) – While Arizona was considered ahead of its time in giving women the right to vote and hold office while a still a territory and then formally in 1912 by a citizens initiative proposed amendment to the Arizona Constitution, legislation introduced over the past few years might make one wonder if there is a war on women’s rights in Arizona. The status of women’s rights in Arizona is the subject of the October 17 League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley voter education program.

    “Women’s Rights in Arizona: History, Legislation, Threats and Opportunities” will be addressed by featured speaker, Frances Julia Riemer, Ph.D., According to Reimer, “While women in Arizona have made real progress in jobs and education, wages won’t catch up to men’s until 2044, and women still make up only 1/3 of the state legislators.” 

    The presentation will be given twice: from 9-10:30AM at Yavapai College Sedona Center, 4215 Arts Village Drive, and again from 12-1:30 at Yavapai College, 601 W. Black Hills Dr., Clarkdale, Rm G106. The event is free and open to the public.

    One Bullet Away

    There’s a storm cloud coiling over America, and most don’t see it yet. But it’s there. Dark. Imminent. Unavoidable. Call it fate, call it consequence—but don’t call it fiction. The divide is real. And it’s calcifying by the hour.
