About this Webinar

As the 2020 election nears, we are delighted to sit down for an inspired conversation with Martha Burk, author of Your Voice Your Vote: The Savvy Woman's Guide to Politics, Power, and the Change We Need. Oft cited as a “manifesto” for voters passionate about gender equality, Martha writes from a non-partisan perspective, holding both political parties responsible for their failures to advance equality. In dialogue with API’s Executive Director Lucienne Beard, Martha will share insight from her extensive experience in public policy and will give guests practical tools to help them become more informed and engaged voters. With a keen eye on how voting directly impacts the fight for gender equality, this vibrant conversation will leave you inspired and prepared to hold your elected officials accountable.

API has 15 signed copies of Martha’s book available for sale. Purchase yours during the registration process!
