Feminism on Tap
Feminism on Tap is a recurring casual gathering hosted by Wisconsin Women's Network. These events are a great chance for social and gender justice advocates and other community members to network, develop ideas for collaboration, and discuss local efforts to advance the status of women and girls in Wisconsin.
Stay tuned on Facebook and email for the latest updates on our Feminism on Tap events!
Women’s Equality Day
A century after gaining the right to vote, women continue to experience voter inequalities due to disenfranchisement, barriers to access the polls, and restrictive voter ID laws. The Wisconsin Women’s Network recognizes Women’s Equality Day, in order to bring awareness to the inequalities (at the polls and beyond) that so many women experience because of their gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexuality, ability, identity, and socioeconomic status.
Our Women's Equality Day event serves as a fundraiser to sustain the Wisconsin Women’s Network and our work to advance the status of women and girls in Wisconsin. We hope you will join us at this year’s celebration to hear from inspiring women from across our great state!
Our Women’s Equality Day 2024 celebration took place on Thursday, August 22, at Old Sugar Distillery in Madison. Click here to learn more about this year’s event!
