Our Town Covers “The War on Women”

Our Town‘s Megan Finnegan reports on Liz’s forum at the CUNY Graduate Center last week, “The War on Women: An Evening Basic Training.”

Sen. Liz Krueger has long been an advocate for women’s rights in Albany, so she’s accustomed to fighting for laws that protect them.

Krueger was joined on April 24 at the CUNY Graduate Center by Amy Richards, writer and activist; Joe Rollins, executive officer of the Political Science Department at the CUNY Graduate Center; Shelby Knox, director of women’s rights at Change.org; and Jamia Wilson, vice president of programs at the Women’s Media Center.
