13 1:00 pm: Riverside Women Creating Change Book Launch! 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm October 13, 2024 On Sunday afternoon, October 13, please join Inlandia at the Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California for the launch of Riverside Women Creating Change—Stories and Inspiration. The program runs from 1:00-3:00 PM, with doors opening at 12:30. The Riverside Resistance Revival Chorus will be on hand to perform, and CRIISC’s Homegrown Heroes exhibit—of which there is considerable overlap—will be open to our guests. Light refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there! Reluctant activists: Throughout Riverside's history, women have been at the forefront of community activism, but few have adopted that label. Instead, they were women simply doing what they knew was right. They were grassroots preservationists, speaking out and speaking up. They were building peace. Protecting our environment. Fighting erasure, fighting for the right to love who they love, fighting for the health of children, for their right to an education. Wherever there is change you will find women, often working behind the scenes, below the surface. Are you or are you not an activist? Are you sure? If you would like to be, you are. Join us. Hear their stories. Be inspired. We are planting the seeds. Passing the torch. Will you be the one to take it? This event is free and open to all, but an RSVP is requested through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/who-are-the-riverside-women-creating-change-tickets-1030221970647. Copies of Riverside Women Creating Change—Stories and Inspiration will be available for sale at the event and may be preordered through Eventbrite. Get your signed copy, then get out there and be the change! The Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California is located at 3933 Mission Inn Avenue, Suite 102, in Riverside, California.
