Authors Amity Shlaes and Lindsey Burke discuss the human cost and policy pitfalls of top-down public reforms made during the 1960s. The biggest debates in American politics today—about how to end poverty, improve living standards for the middle class, protect the environment, and provide access to health care and education—are nothing new. These same issues divided the country in the 1960s. Then, as now, Americans debated socialism versus capitalism and public sector versus private-sector reform. Time and again, whether under John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, or Richard Nixon, the country chose the public sector. The result was the Great Society—a wave of massive reforms, implemented from the top-down by experts and bureaucrats. In Amity Shlaes' new book, "Great Society: A New History," the results of the Great Society era are shown to be far from great, and actually, devastating. In a similar vein, Lindsey Burke, the director of the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation, illustrates the policy pitfalls of the Great Society in her book, The Not-So-Great Society. These authors' presentation was recorded in January 2020 at the Conservative Women's Network, a monthly event co-sponsored by CBL Center for Conservative Women and The Heritage Foundation.

Lala Mooney, mother of Congressman Alex Mooney, was born in communist Cuba and raised with 13 other siblings. On the day of the Bay of Pigs invasion on April 17, 1961, Fidel Castro executed a mass imprisonment movement where approximately 100,000 innocent Cubans were held as political prisoners, Lala as one of them. After two months, Lala and her siblings were released and invited to find refuge in the United States. Lala Mooney's book, "Leaving Cuba: One Family's Journey to Freedom," is a testament to her family's perseverance and strength under communist rule. Lala Mooney gave this presentation at the November 2019 Conservative Women's Network luncheon, a monthly event co-sponsored by The Heritage Foundation and CBL Center for Conservative Women.

In 2015, students at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) went head-to-head over AB148, a bill that would have allowed students with a concealed carry permit to carry on university grounds, and would directly combat the risk of sexual assault and other crimes. However, after a faculty-sponsored rally against the legislation, the Associated Students of the University of Nevada opposed the bill and ultimately closed the decision. But UNR students, particularly young women, are not ready to quit. Partnering with the Center for Conservative Women, an organization for conservative women on college campuses, UNR College Republicans and Nevada Young Republicans teamed up to host rape survivor and alum Amanda Collins and Second Amendment activist Antonia Okafor. The two speakers addressed the right to self-defense and UNR administration's reactionary, not proactive, attempts to make campus a safe environment. The campus lecture was held on Thursday, October 17, 2019, from 7:30 pm-9:00 pm in the KC Wells Fargo Auditorium at the University of Nevada, Reno.
