🗳️ Generations Come Together for Culver City Branch’s Ballot Talk 🗳️

Culver City Branch recently hosted a TED-style talk on the California ballot, with representation from every generation, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z. 🇺🇸 Each speaker shared their perspective on the propositions, measures, candidates, and the general election as a whole.

The conversation was thought-provoking, passionate, and hopeful. It was inspiring to see generations come together to discuss what is at stake this election. ✊🏾

The evening also fell on Taco Tuesday, so we enjoyed tacos, rice, beans, and chips while we talked. 🌮

📣 A special shout-out to Branch President Kenya Dennis and Forever Emerald Evelyn Wright for organizing this discussion and supporting National 2nd Vice President Janice Roberts’ voter engagement initiative, NAUW Strong: Elevate the Vote. 🌟

✅ We hope this event inspires every generation to get out and vote.
🗓️ Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
Your vote matters! 🗳️

A big shout-out to our Team Captain, Carol Gillard, for organizing our breast cancer awareness walk! 🎀

We set a goal of raising $1,500, and we raised $821! While we didn’t quite hit our target, that’s more than double the $300 we raised at our last walk. That’s real progress, and we’re proud of it.

Culver City thanks all of our supporters and team walkers who helped us spread cancer awareness. Your time, energy, and generosity made a difference. We couldn’t have done it without you!

As a follow up from our Southwest Sectional Joint membership Tea, we held a Chat and Chew Event for the ladies who attended the tea as guest of Culver City members. This was an informal opportunity for the guests to get to know Culver City better and vice versus. Everyone participated in a game called "Would you Rather....." It was an afternoon of fun, conversations, sisterhood, and refreshments.💚🤍

Southwest sisters got together and participated in a guided tour of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International museum. CCHR is a non profit organization dedicated to exposing and putting an end to psychiatric abuses in the field of mental health. In support of Annette Burtin-NAUW National President initiative in sisterhood, wellness, and community engagement, Santa Monica Branch President Ernesta Wright organized a fun and educational afternoon sisterhood event. The interactive tour took us back to the beginning of President George Washington cause of death, electroshock therapy, psychotropic drugging, psychiatric drugs to children and todays billion dollar legal drug industry. Today, 76 million Americans are taking psychiatric drugs that are fraudulently marketed as correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain. There is no test to prove chemical imbalance.

The Southwest sisters took a bubble break. Blowing bubbles is a simple, science-backed mindfulness tool that helps calm the nervous system and relieve stress and anxiety.

It was a SUPER day with the Children's Institute this past Saturday! This is a new collaboration as Culver City member Thresa Offord & President Kenya Dennis, participated in their Early Childhood Educational (ECE) Health Fair. The theme of the afternoon was Superheroes. All of the families dressed up in their best superhero outfit and took advantage of all the activities, which included free health & dental screenings, play areas, interactive games, line dancing, giveaways, food & community resources for lifelong wellness.

Special shout out to the The GREEN Foundation & Ernesta Wright, Santa Monica Branch President, for supplying Culver City with donations to distribute to the families at the health fair. We provided books, school supplies, toys, hair care products, and health information. The NAUW GREEN Machine was in full effect serving the community!
