California Indivisibles are honored to have the iconic organizer Heather Booth join us for the second event in our new Speakers Series.

Sometimes referred to as "the most influential person you have never heard of," Heather has helped transform the American political landscape - from her early involvement in both civil rights and abortion rights through her campaign for marriage equality.

Heather began participating in the civil rights movement with sit-ins and traveling to Mississippi for Freedom Summer. On her return, she began the first women’s movement organization on a school campus and spearheaded JANE, an abortion counseling service, risking criminal charges in the days before Roe v. Wade. She went on to direct a number of vital national organizations and campaigns and founded the Midwest Academy to train leaders of social change organizations.

The trailer for the documentary, "Heather Booth: Changing the World" will give you a quick sense of her outsized influence in all aspects of social change in America over the last six decades: https://youtu.be/Y5lTUzfSSZg.

The conversation between Heather and Aram, the moderator for California Indivisible's Statewide calls, promises to be illuminating and inspiring. We hope you will join us!
