Act Now!

They Got the Memo

posted by Peter Rothberg on 08/26/2008 @ 12:24pm

There's a dizzying array of panels, plenaries, protests and parties this week in Denver as 4,000 delegates, 15,000 members of the media and thousands of additional political tourists look for things to do.

So I'll try to focus on just a few things this week that seem of particular interest and that are being pod and/or webcast like tomorrow's collaboration between the Women's Media Center and Women's E-News as part of the SeaChange Forum at Denver's Starz Lounge.

They Got the Memo: Members of Congress Reveal How They Push a Pro-Women Agenda features leading feminist legislators trading notes on how they have dealt legislatively with critical importance like wages and poverty, employment barriers, reproductive health, domestic violence and homophobia.

Wednesday, August 27, 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Starz Center, 900 Auraria Pkwy, Denver

Featuring:

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, (D-CA)

    I think, given some of the very, very recent news...

    I would have realized that it would be at a Democratic Convention, MAASCH!

  3. Thanks for the tip JO. May be the most valuable info in Denver right now.

    Thanks ZERO. But I do agree with your comment on my first DNC post that we shd really be thinking about things that matter this week -- not the DNC!
