"Vote."

Cecile Richards and Sarah Pebworth, Bay School, Blue Hill, 8/21/18

Thanks to a collaboration with Americans Who Tell The Truth, Blue Hill Books, Island Peace & Justice, Peninsula Peace & Justice, and WERU, hundreds of people in the Blue Hill Peninsula were able to meet and be inspired by Cecile Richards last night.

Former President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, daughter of the late Governor Ann Richards, featured speaker at the Women’s March on Washington, and a “heroine of the resistance” (Vogue), Cecile Richards has spent a lifetime fighting for social justice and women’s rights. She shared pieces of her story in conversation with Rob Shetterly of the Americans Who Tell The Truth Project.
 
In her memoir "Make Trouble," Richards presents a timely and important message: To make change, you have to make trouble. In her book, she illuminates the people and the lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad and the experiences that taught her how to stand up, speak out, and find the courage to lead.

Shetterly’s portrait of Cecile Richards was unveiled as part of the series Americans Who Tell The Truth. 

WERU recorded the evening and will broadcast it at a later time.
