Megin McDonell from Fair Wisconsin Discusses Conversion Therapy

Our guest speaker, Megin McDonell, will give a review of what conversion therapy is, why it should be prohibited, and a summary of state, local, and national efforts to prohibit the practice. This will include the experience in the cities in Wisconsin that have passed local ordinance protections.

Before joining Fair Wisconsin in 2011, she was the Program Director at the Tenant Resource Center in Madison for fourteen years. She has been active in local politics and elections, including serving for eleven years on the Madison Equal Opportunities Commission and working on numerous aldermanic, county board, assembly and congressional campaigns. Megin also previously served as President of the Social Justice Center Board of Directors and Chair of the NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin Board of Directors.
