Our survey results suggest that members prefer to meet in the late afternoon on weekdays while we are meeting virtually. Let's try something new.
Pour a glass of lemonade or a glass of wine and join us to learn more about the suffragists, especially those in Florida. What lessons can we learn from their fight?

October 12—“Sing Unburied Sing,” by Jesmyn Ward. Is many things: a road novel, a slender epic of three generations and the ghosts that haunt them, and a portrait of what ordinary folk in dire circumstances cleave to as well as what they are trying to out run. It’s set in the fictional town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi.

CHINA & LATIN AMERICA
As the Trump administration continues to withdraw from the world stage, China is looking to fill the void. How does Latin America fit into China’s “One Belt, One Road” plan? How will the relationship with China affect the region? Should the U.S. be concerned about China’s growing “sphere of influence”?

AAUW-FL RELEASES NEW RESEARCH ON ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR WORKING BLACK WOMEN IN FLORDA
Dr. Mary Gatta, Associate Professor of Sociology at the City University of New York and a part-time Florida resident, has released her latest report commissioned by AAUW of Florida. The title is Working Black Women in Florida and Economic Insecurity: A Story of Gender and Racial Inequality.
|
|
 |
Dr. Gatta was to have introduced this report to us at the state convention, but in lieu of that, she has recorded a brief interview that is available on the AAUW Florida Facebook page. In observation of Black Women's Equal Pay Day, she will record a longer presentation to be sent out on August 15. This could provide a good topic for a branch meeting in the new year.
The Flagler, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Sarasota, and Tampa Branches supported this research through AAUW-Florida state grants, and the Weston branch supported it through member contributions.
Here is the websites where you can find executive summaries and the complete report:
