Leeds Culture Club
The WEP Leeds Culture Club is a monthly meet up to discuss books, films and TV with like-minded people. After the success of our first Culture Club comes CC#2 where we will be discussing Beloved by Toni Morrison and also the Netflix special Nanette by Hannah Gadsby. £5 to join, all funds go to supporting @wep_leeds. WE would love to see you there!
twr November branch met up
Really looking forward to catching up as a branch this month to celebrate what's been happening and look at what's coming up.
If you're new to WEP we'd love you to come along and get to know fellow branch members and find out how you can get involved locally.
Friends and family members welcome!
Haringey Pub & Politics
Join us at the Maynard Arms, Crouch End, for our monthly pub & politics. We gather on the first Wednesday of every month from 7 pm at fully accessible Haringey pubs.
We can keep everyone updated on what's happening locally with the Women's Equality Party - but the main thing is to hear from you. We want to know what you're passionate about, what's bothering you locally or nationally, what's interesting in the area... anything else you'd like to tell a group of enthusiastic feminists.
Now is an especially good time to come along as you can find out what we're planning for the 2020 Greater London Assembly elections - and how we're going to be part of getting WEP's first elected seat in office!
Leeds Branch Social
A chance for members and supporters to meet up and relax at the end of the week. If you’ve been thinking about becoming more involved with the party, this is a great opportunity to get to know your local branch a bit better. WE look forward to seeing faces old and new.
The Brew Society is an accessible venue.

Feminist Book Club - Hidden Figures
This month we are reading Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee-Shetterly.
Set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow South and the civil rights movement, the true story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program—and whose contributions were previously unheralded.
Before John Glenn orbited the Earth or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as “Human Computers,” calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts by Jim Crow laws, these “colored computers,” as they were known, used slide rules, adding machines, and pencil and paper to support America’s fledgling aeronautics industry, and helped write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
As ever it doesn't matter if you've read half the book, all of it or just the first 10 pages, all are welcome. Come and join in the conversation.
