Two Blogicizers, and we’re off to Netroots!
Netroots Nation is almost here! The staff and I have been running around in a whirlwind getting ready, and we leave tomorrow!
Our Blogicize effort to ask 2,500 women to run for office has been launched - and already two fabulous bloggers have participated: Kathy Groob from ElectWomen Magazine and Jen Nedeau from Women’s Rights at Change.org. Join the movement - sign up to Blogicize She Should Run™ today and get more women thinking about running for office.
WCF will be stationed at the Candidate Kiosk in the Exhibition Hall along with Act Blue, DLCC, Team Blue, NGP, and Wired for Change - so stop by and see us!
Also, WCF President/CEO Sam Bennett will be leading a discussion about how we truly work toward gender equality in public office at 3:00pm on Thursday at the “Author’s Table” in the Exhibition Hall. We hope to get those great Netroots minds working so we can attack this problem together.
Sam will also be on a panel on Thursday at 4:30pm (Thursday’s a busy day!) - Redistricting is Coming! Why Progressives must Focus on the State Legislature in 2010 and How You can Help.
We’ll also be at the infamous Pub Quiz Meet the Candidates event - Sam will be Emceeing alongside Adam Bonin, which should prove to be an entertaining evening!
We’ll be blogging and tweeting from Pittsburgh - I look forward to seeing everyone there!
