_WHAT WERE DOING
_Join us young women and men from New York City to Portland, Maine and

talk about womens rights, girls and young womens futures. Join in
conversations about our diverse experiences, the barriers we face and
changes we hope to create. Be part of crafting our agendas for womens

poetry, and comedy as well as an open mike, continuing Saturday

out and actions to join. It will include workshops about the issues
facing us and the skills we need to address them, and sessions where
we will hear from young women who are out there making a difference

Ireland to WNBA basketball players, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalists
and elected officials.
