Calling All Feminists - Make Your Plans! It's NOW's birthday, and it's time to get down and get busy. Join feminist activists from around the country for NOW's 2006 National Conference and Young Feminist Summit, July 21-23, north of the apple in New York's capital, Albany. Reconnect with old friends and make new ones during yoga in the morning, parties in the evening and, as always, lively political workshops, action planning, and inspiring speeches in between. The Young Feminist Summit takes place on Friday, featuring keynote speaker Taina Bien-Aimé, the Executive Director of Equality Now, one of the leading organizations in the global struggle against trafficking. That same day, NOW will also be honoring world renowned singer-songwriter and activist Ani DiFranco, as well as the Allegheny County Girls as Grantmakers Team, whose activism pressured Abercrombie & Fitch to pull offensively-labeled shirts from the market, and Brian Collins and his Ogilvy & Mather team that helped created Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign. NOW's Political Institute will take place throughout Friday and Saturday. Hon. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun will be there, as well as numerous other women politicians and candidates. Everything from effective blogging to fair elections to feminism and faith will be discussed in workshops during the weekend. On Saturday we will honor Dr. Susan Wood, who resigned from the FDA in protest, and we will celebrate NOW's 40th anniversary with tributes to the organization's founders and leaders and a rocking party, complete with cake and confetti. We'll close the conference with consideration of resolutions on NOW's actions and policy for the coming year, as well as an exciting rally on Sunday. So, pack your things and book it to Albany for a weekend of invigorating feminist action!
