Join LWVCO‘s new book club featuring "Free Thinker: Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener," and author Kimberly A. Hamlin. Kimberly is an award-winning historian, author, and professor specializing in the history of women, gender, and sex in the United States.

"Free Thinker" tells the fascinating story of the “fallen woman” who reinvented herself and became “the most potent factor” in the Congressional passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and the highest-ranking woman in the federal government.

"Free Thinker" centers both sex and race in the history of women’s rights and in the long struggle for the vote.

If you’ve already signed the petition for Amendment 89, THANK YOU, and please help spread the word. If you have not already signed, please read below.

Help us protect abortion rights and expand access in Colorado by putting a constitutional amendment on the November 2024 ballot. Here are three reasons why we need to strengthen protections for reproductive healthcare:
1)Coloradans have repeatedly voted to defend abortion, but that doesn‘t mean it‘s protected. Our measure will write this freedom into the state constitution so that the right to abortion is protected for years and can’t be interfered with by future politicians.
2)People enrolled in state health insurance plans like teachers deserve to have access to full reproductive healthcare, and right now, they don’t.
3)Your healthcare decisions should be personal, and you should be free to make those decisions privately with your doctor.
Here is the full text of the constitutional amendment: THE RIGHT TO ABORTION IS HEREBY RECOGNIZED. GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT DENY, IMPEDE, OR DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE EXERCISE OF THAT RIGHT, INCLUDING PROHIBITING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ABORTION.

On March 20th, at the Asian Palate location (no food) and the times are varied: 8:00-10:00, 11:00-1:00pm, and 4:00-6:00.
