November "Lunch & Learn"

6:30 to 8:00 pm (virtual)

Empathy
As an alternative to our regularly scheduled November Lunch & Learn, we are thrilled to offer Empathy on Purpose: A Look Into Implicit Bias & Microaggressions, led by Maria Douglas, the Senior DEI Specialist for the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.  The date for this virtual training will be Thursday November 17, 6:30-8:00 PM. It will be an engaging, warm, and inclusive presentation with breakout discussion rooms to allow for more intimate conversations. 
 

Lean-in Discussion

Lean
As an alternative to our regularly scheduled November Lunch & Learn, we invited members and the public to join the LWV of Wisconsin's Statewide Implicit Bias Training on November 17.

In 2020 the LWVUS elevated diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core institutional value, on par with the League’s nonpartisanship policy.
On November 21, our League is hosting a local conversation to explore what implicit bias is, where we see implicit bias in the La Crosse League, and how we as individuals and as an organization can be more welcoming to and build relationships with others. Changing our implicit bias requires self-reflection, time, intention, and training.
UWL Professor Laurie Cooper-Stoll will facilitate a conversation exploring implicit and explicit bias in the Coulee Region. All are welcome to submit questions in advance at LWVLA@gmail.com. Together we will discuss how our attitudes and biases affect our actions.  
 

November Bookclub

Monday,  November 28, 2022

6:30 - 8:00 PM
 
November Book Club will meet in person.

Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship.
The November Book Club will gather in the meeting room of RiverPlace Apartments, located at 1 RiverPlace Dr., La Crosse, which is adjacent to International Friendship Gardens. Participants may enter through the front entrance. It is suggested that participants may wish to park in the Friendship Gardens parking lot in back of the apartments,
Since this meeting is indoors and therefore not subject to weather restrictions, there will be no back-up Zoom link. Although registration for this in-person meeting will not be required, participants are encouraged to register if they wish to receive an event reminder as well as any potential updates to meeting information.
