We recognize that the current health crisis has exemplified societal shortcomings and we hope to support positive social change and see our community come out of this pandemic stronger than before. We host community discussions focusing on relevant pressing issues, moderated by community leaders, with a panel of educators, activists, local officials, artists, service providers, and other community members with expertise on the issue at hand.
If you or your organization are interested in participating in a future panel discussion or you have suggestions for events, please contact Jesse Silva at silvaj@santacruzpl.org or 831-427-7700 x 7669

in a dialogue about the film Miss Representation (2011) Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom the film explores how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in influential positions by circulating limited and often disparaging portrayals of women. We invite people from all walks of life to come with questions and ideas to help us build a more resilient community by supporting the leadership of girls and women. Miss Representation is available on Kanopy, the library’s free online video streaming service.
