Historic Republican victories in the 2010 state and congressional elections have increased the downward pressure on the living standards of the 99%, from attempts to repeal collective bargaining to cutbacks in education and health care programs, to weaker environmental regulations and more. But also in policies directed to women, including efforts to repeal coverage under job discrimination laws, numerous proposals to restrict abortions or humiliate those who seek them even, amazingly enough, attacks on birth control. So this seems like the right time to honor long-time women's rights activist Andrea Miller.

Admission is $35 ($15 for student or low-income). Includes hoursdourves and open bar.
