Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Reading List

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee has developed a reading list for members interested in continued learning and appreciation of DEI issues.

This list was compiled based on critic reviews and other online booklists. Although it contains a variety of diverse groups and topics, it is not intended to convey every experience or issue related to this extensive subject matter.

Protect Voting Rights & Stop Voter Suppression in 2021

Tuesday, May 18 at 6 p.m.

Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws. These laws lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right.

Dating back to the Jim Crow era, a patchwork of state felony disfranchisement laws, which vary in severity from state to state, prevent approximately 5.85 million Americans with felony and, in several states, misdemeanor convictions from voting. Confusion about and misapplication of these laws also de facto disenfranchise countless other Americans.

So what’s going on in Kansas? What regulations are being considered in the 2021 session in Topeka? What are the voting rights of felons? How do they know when they can register? Is it the same across the state?

Plan now to join us at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, for an online discussion with representatives from ACLU of Kansas.

The livestream will pop up at bit.ly/LWVyoutube. We will also livestream on our Facebook page at fb.com/League.Of.Women.Voters.Wichita

This event is free of charge and open to the public. All are welcome.

2021 Annual Meeting

Every year we have a meeting where our members vote on a proposed budget for the coming 12 months, a slate of board positions, etc. and then we do fun things like honoring our Citizen of the Year. It’s a great way to cap the previous 12 months and form a vision of how the next year will be.

Last year was a bit of a bust. This year we’re on top of our video conferencing game and we’re ready to take full advantage of it! 💪

We would LOVE for members AND non-members to join us for the public portion of our annual meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 24th. 🤩 The livestream will pop up at bit.ly/LWVyoutube. We will also livestream on our Facebook page at fb.com/League.Of.Women.Voters.Wichita

The public meeting will include:
⭐ DEI Moment of Focus
⭐ Greetings from LWVUS CEO Virginia Kase
⭐ Presentation of our scholarship winners
⭐ Recognition followed by a keynote address from the League of Women Voters Wichita – Metro’s Citizen of the Year, Sedgwick County Health Director Adrienne Byrne

Please note that the members-only portion of our Annual Meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. and held on Zoom. All members should have received an email from wichitametrolwv@gmail.com on April 24th with attachments & the Zoom link. (Check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox.) 🔎 Reach out to our co-presidents Jennifer Byers Heminway (cthdownunder@gmail.com) & Martha Pint (martha_pint@hotmail.com) if you have questions.
