Bring your friends your friends and family. Enjoy free popcorn and refreshments. Join the American Democracy Project and the Political Science Club of IU South Bend on January 31st for a FREE film screening of Iron Jawed Angels. Iron Jawed Angels is a major motion picture that documents the journey of Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, and the National Women's Party and their fight for women's suffrage through the passing of the 19th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Sadly, few young people today know this true-life story - a story that includes White House picketing, police brutality, jailing, public scorn, and forced feedings. It is a gripping film that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Every American should see this firm! The educational event will open with a short discussion of the history of women's suffrage and the real-life key actors featured in the movie. This event is free and open to the public. This event is the first in the Women, Politics, and Power series and is sponsored by the American Democracy Project and underwritten by gift from MPA Architects.

McKinley Mishawaka, Indiana	Evening With The League -- Lake Michigan Ecosystem -- Consideration of Lake Michigan League Position. We have been asked by the Indiana League of Women Voters (LWVIN) to consider a request that the state Leagues concur with Lake Michigan League position related to the Great lakes ecosystem. In order for this to occur, members of local leagues need to read the position, discuss any questions or considerations, and reach concurrence. For those members who may be new to the process of concurrence, we ask that you: 1. Read the "position statement"<files/Position.LWV-M Lake-Eco.2011.pdf> and discern any questions you may have with how it is written. It will need to be approved as written if our League is to give concurrence with the position. 2. Bring any questions to the Evening with the League meeting on February 16th, 5:30 at Sufficient Grounds Coffeehouse, 711 W. McKinley Avenue in Mishawaka. 3. Share your feedback, questions, or concerns with the group. The LWV South Bend Area Board thanks you in advance for your participation and sharing. We look forward to seeing you and discussing this and other important issues. You will find a link to the position on the HOME page.
