   WOMEN'S VOICES '24: PROTECTING OUR FUTURE with ANNISA KARIM

   Jointly produced by Women's MARCH FORT MYERS/LEE COUNTY CHAPTER OF NOW (National Organization for Women), "WOMEN'S VOICES '24: PROTECTING OUR FUTURE" is an empowering interview series dedicated to amplifying women's voices as we approach the upcoming election. At a time when many feel unheard, this initiative provides a platform for women to express their concerns, hopes, and ideas about the future. By sharing personal stories and opinions on crucial topics like women's rights, current legislation, and the meaning of democracy, we aim to highlight the diverse perspectives that are often overlooked. Expressed uniquely, the videos offer insights into how activists think about and approach their role as citizen activists. This is video #7 in a "24 (podcasts) in '24." We are pleased to present ANNISA KARIM. Annisa Karim has lived in Florida since she was five years old. She grew up on the southeast coast and was part of the first graduating class from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Ms. Karim graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. She has worked as an ecologist and educator in Florida for over 26 years. She ran for office twice to highlight inequities in social justice, environmental protection, and the protection of human rights. Ms. Karim is committed to fighting for Liberty and Justice for All.
