"Things like paid leave impact everyone. They don't just impact women," said Gretchen Hunt, executive administrator for the city's Office of Women. "When women's rights and voices suffer, the entire community suffers. So this is a call to action."
The event is free and open to the public. Coffee and light snacks will be provided. It starts at 10 a.m. at the Filson Historical Society on South 3rd Street in Old Louisville.
