The film, LFG will be shown and discussed. A light supper will be served.

 

Three months before the 2019 FIFA women’s World Cup, the players filed a class-action, gender, discrimination lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation, which sets the stage for LFG. The film interweaves, transcendent athletic performances, including a record-breaking World Cup victory in 2019 with the players’ ongoing pursuit for equal pay. LFG grants viewers unprecedented access to these game-changers as they meet the physical demands and pressures of being some of the world‘s top athletes, while showcasing their unflinching  spirit and resiliency in an effort to create long-lasting social change with the biggest fight for the women’s rights since Title IX

What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact it’s leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism, and great power competition?
