NCJW Joins with  Louisiana Women's Round-table

NCJW is thrilled to be working with a diverse network of non-profit organizations named Louisiana Women's Round-table. This group is coordinating to present discussion forum's to the public on policy issues that impact the lives of women and families. On February 19th we hosted our first in our round-table series, What Matters to Women, Matters to America. Moderated by Sally J. Kenney, Executive Director of Newcomb College Institute, the panel engaged the audience in a critical discussion about how public policies intersect in a way that could have a long-lasting impact women's futures. We would like to thank Sally Kenney, Tania Tetlow, Marjorie Esman, Karissa Haugeberg, and Beth Willinger for participating in this discussion and our co-sponsors for making this a wonderful event.

We will host another panel in the Fall, so keep an eye on your newsletters for more information.

Louisiana Women's Round-table is a strong coalition of organizations including: American Association of University Women-New Orleans Branch, American Civil Liberties Union - Louisiana, Independent Women's Organization, Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies, League of Women Voters New Orleans, Louisiana Progress, National Council of Jewish Women, Greater New Orleans Section, National Organization for Women of New Orleans, and Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast

Roe at 40: Stories Celebrating Forty Years of Our Struggle for Reproductive Justice


Thank you for joining  us for a celebration of the women, past and present,
who have endured in our 40 struggle for reproductive freedom.

As Roe v Wade turns 40 years old, we want to set the stage for inspiring stories from the women
