Time for Ilhan

Q&A VoteRunLead CEO/founder Erin Vilardi moderated by Laura Rossi with Reception

Ilhan Omar is a woman, a Somali-American, a hijab-wearing Muslim, and a candidate for elected office in Minnesota. If you think she doesn’t have a chance to win, that’s only because you haven’t met this smart, charismatic, determined, and savvy community organizer yet. This unforgettable story of a woman battling to make a difference in the face of bigotry, sexism, nativism, and personal attacks is must-see viewing for anyone interested in changing the status quo and witnessing the rise of a new political force. The post-screening discussion with Erin Vilardi, CEO/founder of VoteRunLead, will highlight the theme of civic engagement and women running for office.
