Women Making History was an event held at the Atrium in Downtown Redding on March 21.
It was an opportunity to hear speakers and meet representatives from local Women’s and Family Services, like The NorthState Chapter of California Women Lead.
Featured speaker Heather Wylie from Shasta College, with LWV member Erin Murphy, and Shasta County Assessor/Recorder Leslie Morgan.
Caedy Minoletti with Shasta Womens Refuge, and Kristen Schreder of the Redding Area League of Women Voters
Rose Worthington and Cherrel Kirkland, President of the Soroptimists International of Redding.

Susan Wilson, President of the Redding League of Women Voters stands with Erin Murphy at the poster they created for the event, Women Making History. This was just a small sampling of the groups and people at the event. All agreed it was a tremendous success!
We make decisions about law and governance in Redding’s supermarket parking lots. Our initiative process puts power directly in the hands of the people – people shopping – and goes around the legislators we pay to get this stuff right. Shown above is the bait. Seen yesterday in Redding, a couple of signs for a petition to legalize and tax marijuana. Not a bad idea IMHO. But it’s bait and switch. He’s actually being paid to have you sign several petitions. One concerns marijuana, but another squashes municipalities from starting their own utilities. Sponsored by PG&E of course, but he doesn’t tell you that. Another has to do with car insurance. He doesn’t explain the complex issue well at all, and why would he know? And am I knowledgeable about the subtleties of car insurance laws. No. I’m not. Are you?
