They Got the Memo

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.
