On May 10th, join thousands of organizations, companies, schools, museums, libraries and homes — anywhere people already gather — in a global conversation about what it will take to get to a more gender-balanced world in all sectors of society: business, politics, culture, home, and more.

Led by Tiffany Shlain, Emmy-nominated filmmaker and founder of The Webby Awards and her team at Let it Ripple Film Studio,50/50 Day is based on the model of their annual Character Day, which last year had over 93,000 events in 125 countries and all 50 states.

San Luis Obispo joins this movement with a free event at CalPoly. This event is sponsored by a partnership between Women’s March San Luis Obispo and the Cal Poly Democratic Club.
