About this Event
Patriarchy Is on the Ballot: Pop-Up Conversation with Dr. Michelle Morkert
See the playbook. Then show up and vote.
Some of the most powerful rules in our lives are the ones nobody says out loud. Join Dr. Michelle Morkert for a one-night-only pop-up edition of her talk Deconstructing the Playbook of the Patriarchy, and see how power, gender and authority shape who gets heard, who gets believed and who gets to lead.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And with Election Day on November 3, that clarity makes your vote feel urgent.
What to expect
- A short, practical talk that makes invisible systems visible
- Time for questions and conversation
- Clear next steps so you leave ready to vote and ready to bring others with you
