Conscious Woman of the Month

Dorothy_Rupert2

As a liberal Democrat in a Republican-dominated state legislature, Senator Rupert faced many challenges. While in office, she focused her energies on services for women and children, access to health care and education, the environment, prison reform, civil rights for minorities, the lesbian/gay/bisexual/ transgendered community, hate crimes, and crisis intervention for youth.

NEW WEBSITE DESIGN!

**If you're reading this, you've caught us in the midst of a revamp of our website. Nearly all of our prerecorded presentations are available for 24/7 viewing (if you don't see a Buy Now! button next to the program you're interested in, email us at info@consciouswoman.org and we'll program that one next). Note that you might see a few oddities here and there on other parts of the website, particularly in the resources section, which is still being updated. Bear with us... this is a big website and it's taking some time to get everything set up just right! Thank you for your understanding.**
