beyond: a place to explore equality
"...the as yet untried experiment of complete equality, when the united thought of man and woman will inaugurate a just government, a pure religion, a happy home, a civilization at last in which ignorance, poverty, and crime will exist no more. Those who watch already behold the dawn of the new day."
Do you think the "new day" Stanton envisioned is possible?
What will it take to get there? And how can each of us contribute to that shift in our own lives, our communities, and around the globe?

International Women's Day Luncheon
March 8, 2012 from 12:30pm to 2pm – Westbay Community Conference Center
One small act...
You can help bring Seneca Falls into more hearts and minds on PBS!
Call your local PBS station this week to see if they plan to air Seneca Falls. Last year, 110 stations broadcast the film.
To find your station(s), type your zip code into this PBS Station Finder. With lots of enthusiasm, send them to our site to view the trailer and see the 2010 PBS broadcast schedule. And tell them you will promote the film among your networks.
Stations can contact louise@senecafallsfilm.org with any needs, and if you find out a broadcast date, please let us know!
California to mandate teaching women's history?
In Seneca Falls,17-year-old Annie tells us, "knowing your history gives you courage." Yet the majority of schools in the U.S. still don't teach about the women's rights movement that began there.
But good news! At our suggestion, the California Women Suffrage Centennial Committee is seeking a legislator to sponsor a bill requiring teaching women's history in the state's schools. If they succeed, California will join Illinois, Florida, and Louisiana – states that have passed laws requiring teaching women’s history in K–12 classrooms.
