            RED Day

 

 

Good morning everyone!  Today marks the 111th International Women's Day.  According the International Women's Day Website, March 8 is a day designated to "celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness about women's equality, lobby for accelerated gender parity (which is the equal contribution of women and meant in all aspects of life), and fundraise for female-focused charities."  Each year since 1996, the United Nations designates a theme, and "The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2022 is #BreakTheBias. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn't enough. Action is needed to level the playing field."  The Civil Rights Team invites you to help us #BreakTheBias by taking a selfie with your arms crossed in an "X" and post it to your social media account to show your solidarity.
