Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library will host a unique program this month as part of its Social Justice Speaker Series. Comprised of award-winning speakers providing insights from their professional fields and personal journeys, the Series addresses some of the most critical social justice issues of today.
DML’s September’s program is From Active Duty to Activist, Melissa Rodriguez Speaks Up, Friday, September 22, from 4-5:30 pm in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum.
Rodriguez will discuss her experience as a veteran and activist. Born in California, she is of Mexican and Indigenous descent. Rodriguez retired from the United States Air Force in 2013, at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, after serving 24 years of active duty. Her community and political activism includes supporting issues of veteran affairs, LGTBQ, healthcare, immigration, and women’s rights. She also leads District 10 Indivisible For All (DIFA), a grassroots group that advocates and educates on social justice issues and voting.
This program is in conjunction with DML’s Latinx and National Hispanic Heritage Month programing. All ages are welcome. Registration is not required. Additional information about Rodriguez and the Social Justice Speaker Series can be found at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/socialjustice.
