The City Club of Cleveland Virtual Forum Toward
Equal Representation: Women in Politics Hillary Bachelder, Director/Cinematographer/Editor, "Represent" film , and Bryn Bird, Granville Township Trustee Friday, August 14, 2020 12:30 - 1:30 pm pm On August 19, 2020,
the United States commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Women and men of all races,
ethnicities, and identities fought for and against women's right to vote. The national movement that led to affirming women's
right to vote is not only a story about women's rights, but is also an American story of race, class, citizenship, gender,
immigration, political identity, and values. While we've made
strides, there is still a long way to go towards equal representation. When compared to 193 other nations, the United States
currently ranks 75th in gender equity in
our political representation. However, women are increasingly adding their names to ballots - for example, in 2018, 494 women ran for Congress compared
to only 312 in 2016. Their journeys are often challenging and inspiring, filled with both frustration and joy. The documentary film REPRESENT, which had its world premeire at CIFFStreams, follows three first-time female candidates as they run for office and work to improve
their community through public service. The film is being screened in select cities, including Cleveland, to coincide with
the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. REPRESENT director Hillary C. Bachelder and Ohioan Bryn Bird join us to talk about the experiences of women running for
office and their fight to reshape local politics on their own terms. The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30 pm. ave questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330-541-5794. The Impact of COVID-19 on Women and Girls in the U.S.From health to
