About 100 women from all over the country gathered on Wednesday for WDN’s second Women’s Preconference at Netroots Nation. The gathering was part of WDN’s Women United For project, which is focused on achieving parity for women in American politics and civic life.
During the week of March 11-14, WDN brought 25 members and prospective members to Washington, DC, for our third annual “WDN on the Hill” advocacy training and lobby days. Our members divided up to tackle four critical issues facing our country today: climate change, immigration, gun violence prevention, and women’s economic security. “WDN on the Hill” is becoming on of our most popular and successful programs, and it is a great way to introduce new people to WDN. Though we can’t get the exact dates until we know the legislative calendar, it is always in March, so please mark your calendars now for 2014 and plan to join us!
