And GWP just became a media partner! What’s Fem2.0, you ask? Check it out, at their blog!

Some preliminaries:

Feminism 2.0–a conference slated for February 2, 2009 at George Washington University in Washington, DC–will bring together the leadership of major women’s advocacy organizations and online women’s communities, to “further the connection between the experience, knowledge, formidable real-world grassroots networks and online advocacy tools of women’s advocacy organizations with the powerful and growing communities of women online.”  How cool is that?

Among this gathering’s goals:

• To harness the power of women on the Internet to promote women’s issues.

• To create a forum – starting with the Fem2.0 website and continuing through the event – for women to discuss the issues that are of most concern to them today, and to encourage them to use the Internet to learn more, express their opinions about them and advocate for policies that benefit women and families.

• To create an opportunity for a “meeting of minds” across generations and media platforms.

• To unite women’s voices behind the issues that the vast majority of women support, such as education, healthcare, workplace fairness and economic security.

• To position women’s issues and their advocates for the incoming administration.

• To draw new audiences to women’s issues, especially those who are Internet-focused and can cross-pollinate to increase activism.

• Expand the audience of women engaged in online media activity and activism.
