Desperation & Hope: Abortion Rights in 2024 (a community discussion with NEAR)
Desperation & Hope: Abortion Rights in 2024 (a community discussion with NEAR)
–
March 10, 2024We are kicking off our Spring 2024 calendar at the Black Cat House with a special Sunday discussion!
We are living in a post-Roe world where abortion rights are less certain than they have been in decades. Our state legislature passed a ban on abortions after 12 weeks last year, so we are understandably very concerned. We thought it would be especially appropriate with March being Women's History Month to host a community discussion about the state of abortion rights in 2024.
We are happy to be co-hosting this discussion with two representatives of Nebraska Abortion Resources (NEAR). They are coming to discuss the political landscape, answer our questions, and talk about the abortion fund. They will also be providing "swag", including Plan B.
This event is free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.

Movie Night: The Stepford Wives (1975)
Movie Night: The Stepford Wives (1975)

March 22, 2024The Black Cat House will be honoring Women's History Month by showing the 1975 version of _The Stepford Wives_ for our March movie. This cult classic is a satirical thriller adapted from a 1972 novel of the same name. It stars Katharine Ross and was directed by Bryan Forbes.
The plot centers on Joanna Eberhart (Ross) moving with her husband Walter and two daughters from New York City to the elite suburb of Stepford, Connecticut. The men of Stepford all belong to a club, which Walter quickly joins. Their wives are oddly disinterested in anything but their housework. Joanna quickly becomes suspicious that something is very wrong in Stepford... and if you haven't seen it, we won't spoil the rest for you.
The _Stepford Wives_ novel and film were heavily influenced by the then-contemporary second wave of feminism, though a number of feminists then heavily criticized the film. But over time, the film has become a cult classic and the concept of a "Stepford wife" has become a sort of meme. We hope that you'll come and watch it with us. Discussion will follow the film.
This event is free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
