Special Events
Let’s Make a Difference for Women!
July 16, 2025
Minnesota Women’s organizations, including our Branch, are sponsoring a screening of Zurawski v. Texas, a documentary produced by Jennifer Lawrence, and Hillary and Chelsea Clinton highlighting the consequences of restrictive laws on women’s health care.
Showings are on Wednesday July 16th 2025 at 3:30 PM & 7:00 PM at:
The Main Cinema, 115 SE Main Street MPLS.
Tickets are available only through the QR code above or on this poster,
or at: https://bit.ly/aauwwfm.
Tickets are a $20 donation to The Reproductive Freedom Fund.
A $5 donation for students and others.
See the powerful trailer HERE.
There will be a Q & A with the director after each show.
There are many groups sponsoring this event and limited seating so it will probably sell out. Keep your confirmation email from the ticket purchase as that is your ticket. Feel free to share the electronic poster with friends, family, your book club, etc. All ticket proceeds will go to The Women’s Foundation of MN Reproductive Freedom Fund. If you can’t make the event, donations can also be made at the event ticket site (click on either show time to bring up a payment screen with a donation option).
Sponsoring organizations: AAUW Minneapolis, AAUW of Minnesota, AAUW St. Paul, YWCA Minneapolis, League of Women Voters of Minneapolis, Women’s Foundation of Minnesota

“We are nonpartisan. We do not endorse or oppose candidates or political parties. But we are not neutral. A thriving democracy demands engagement, and we take action on the issues that shape our communities. It is not partisan to defend democracy. It is not partisan to educate people about our past. It is not partisan to support the rule of law.“
Kelsey Waits, AAUW MN President, and Michelle Witte, Executive Director, LWV MN
