Women's Legislative Days starts today!
I've been representing Texas NOW on the steering committee for Women's Legislative Days for the last several months, and I'm thrilled to report that the day is finally here! We kick off with a welcome reception tonight, and then the cool stuff really starts. Tomorrow will be a full day of workshops on everything from global warming to violence against women, with panels of the smartest folks we could find. We'll get you all educated on the issues, and then Tuesday we head to the Capitol to make our voices heard.
I'm especially excited to report that our keynote speakers are the fabulous Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, the bestselling authors of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future and Grassroots: A Field Guide for Feminist Activism. They are great young feminist leaders and I hear they're fantastic speakers as well, so don't miss them!
We worked really hard to keep this conference accessible to everyone, so the fee is only $35 and it's FREE for students! The only thing students have to pay for is lunch if they want it, but you can bring your own. We still have a few more spots open, so come on down if you can. See you there!
