AAUW Branches Encouraged to Take Part in Half the Sky LIVE

On March 4, 2010, CARE will present Half the Sky LIVE in movie theaters nationwide. Inspired by the bestselling book, Half the Sky LIVE will celebrate International Women’s Day with musical performances, celebrity commentary, and the world premiere of Woineshet, a powerful short film directed by Academy Award® Winner Marisa Tomei.

Half the Sky LIVE is the perfect way for AAUW branches and members across the country to celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8th) and stand in solidarity with women and girls all over the world.
