Netroots Nation Panel: Building a Conversation Across Generations of Progressive Women
Friday, June 26, 2009 at 09:18PM Pittsburgh, here I come! I've never been to a blogging conference, and lo and behold this summer I'm going to two of them: Blogher in Chicago July 24-26 and Netroots Nation August 13-16 in Pittsburgh. I plan on being a fly on the wall at Blogher, but will be speaking at Netroots--the place to be for all political junkies and especially those who blog about politics.
Since you know I'm into intergenerational femnist dialogue, you wont be surprised when I say I'm very excited to be part of a panel called "Building a Conversation Across Generations of Progressive Women". Along with some super champion bloggers--Joanne Cronrath Bamberger aka PundidMom, Jen Nedeau of Change.org, Emily McKhann of The Motherhood, and Tracy Viselli who blogs at Care2.
The panel description reads:
Progressive women were the key to Barack Obama's victory in 2008, but not all progressive women saw eye to eye on the Democratic campaign. Some felt Hillary Clinton was not treated fairly in the campaign, yet others felt differently. Feelings still run deep over who was the better candidate for progressives. Now that the election’s over, how do progressive women come together to work toward common goals and issues? Women from their 20s to 60s will discuss differences of opinion and talk about how they find common ground moving forward to promote and preserve the progressive agenda.
If you're going to Netroots, and I hope you are, please come to our panel and join in the conversation, no matter what generation you might be.
And come back here soon for latest information about the exact time and location of the panel as I know it.
Feel free to tweet and otherwise share this--we'd appreciate it.
