Everyone invited to ‘Iron Jawed Angels’ screening

Community members and students are invited to a screening of the movie ‘Iron jawed Angels’ on Tuesday, Oct. 25 in the Chalberg Theatre at Central Lakes College’s Brainerd campus. There will be two screenings: At noon and 6 p.m.

The event is hosted by CLC’s Office of Equity and Inclusion, the CLC Diversity Club, CLC Student Life and the American Association of University Women (AAUW) of Brainerd.

“We believe anyone who watches this film will no longer discount the importance of voting,” said Saundra Martell, on behalf of AAUW. “AAUW is the nation’s leading voice promoting equity and education for women and girls. Founded in 1881, AAUW initially worked to make college educations available to women. In 1915, AAUW adopted a resolution in favor of women’s suffrage, recognizing that only by voting could women ensure themselves and their daughters equal educational opportunities. From that day to this, AAUW has worked to increase women’s political influence by registering voters and by educating voters on issues important to women, girls, and families.”
