5:45pm The Progress Made by “Good Trouble”
In 2012, Aileen Rizo took up a fight for equality, understanding that a woman’s choice to tolerate discrimination in the workplace allows injustice to perpetuate.
After an eight year battle, the US Supreme Court has allowed the positive standing of her case by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to remain. Aileen will share the victorious outcome of her case and how this victory can inspire us to know that good trouble is necessary, that one person can make a difference, and that when we stand together change is possible.
• Aileen Rizo, Associate Director, AIMS Center for Math and Science Education
