Jointly produced by Women's MARCH FORT MYERS/LEE COUNTY CHAPTER OF NOW (National Organization for Women), "WOMEN'S VOICES '24: PROTECTING OUR FUTURE" is an empowering interview series dedicated to amplifying women's voices as we approach the upcoming election.

At a time when many feel unheard, this initiative provides a platform for women to express their concerns, hopes, and ideas about the future. By sharing personal stories and opinions on crucial topics like women's rights, current legislation, and the meaning of democracy, we aim to highlight the diverse perspectives that are often overlooked. Expressed uniquely, the videos offer insights into how activists think about and approach their role as citizen activists.

This is video #5 in a "24 (podcasts) in '24." We are pleased to present ELENA REYES.
