On the 2nd of February, we’re expecting more than 200 women to descend on George Washington University for a one day conference on women, feminism and technology.
This is the beginning of a conversation started between different people about the tide of change happening to all kinds of activism, especially in the feminist front. Blogs have become one of the most powerful points of discussion and organizing among a not just a new age of feminists but a new technological tribe of feminists that cross ages, ethnicity, race, ability and even gender itself.
I was in the middle of some of these conversations about the present, past and future of feminism and felt that there was a need to get the veterans and the noobs, the geeks and nerds, the men and women and all the different "tranches" of what we today call "Feminism" in the United States, throw them in a room and just have them shake hands and start conversation, collaborations or debates.
It is my hope that Feminism 2.0 is the first of annual meetings where feminists of all kind can come together to celebrate and air, vent and dream, rinse and repeat 
It’s why we need your help to spread the word.
We need media partners : People who will advertise the event on their blogs, spread the word on their mailing lists, twitter the hell out of what happening, make it a thing on Facebook and MySpace.
If you take the code and decide to help spread the word about Feminism 2.0, please leave your name and a link to your blog in the comments section. We want to link back to your blog and acknowledge your contribution.
thanks so much for this, liza! this is GREAT!
I added the banner to the front page of GamingAngels.com. I will also be doing a plug in one podcast a week about fem 2.0. Please let me know if you’d like any of the speakers to be on our podcast to talk about the event.
Thank you and have a great day!

I tried to post the buttons on my blogs and social networking sites, but the code does not work. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks.
@trina That’s great, thank you so much for your support! We’ll let you know if we can feature some speakers on your podcast — what a great idea
@ananda I’ll reach out by email to help, thanks for letting us know!
Liza – thanks for the piece and for the support. In other non-related news, I sent your Che tweets to one of the film’s executive producers — an old friend. He was fascinated that you appeared to be tweeting throughout the movie.
Thanks Katie for the jpg files. I added them to the following sites:
1) Kiamsha.com: That Which Awakens Me – my poetic memoir
http://kiamshacom.blogspot.com
2) BAP Living social networking site for women of African descent who self-identify as Black American Princesses (BAPs) and educated Black women
http://baplivingforbapsandebw.ning.com
3) Go Green Sangha social networking site for people who who practice mindfulness, green living, creativity, diversity, the healing arts, and service

I will also spread the word with blog posts, Twitter notices, and radio events on BAP Living Radio and Go Green Sangha Radio in January.
Yay! Thanks, Ananda, that’s great!
I created a Fem 2.0 bumper sticker for Facebook and posted it on my profile:

Thanks Lisa! What a great idea! If you’re part of the Fem2.0 facebook group, please let everyone know that the bumper sticker is there so they can put it on their profiles. I wonder why I didn’t think of that first
Got it!

the code for the badges above looks a little funky – there are lots of curly quotes and seemingly extraneous urls floating around. i had to use this to get things to embed properly (and without opening a new window via target=”_blank”), but it might circumvent some of your tracking. please let us know if there’s a better way.
Thanks!
Ack. I, too, need .jpgs to get the badges to work.
I could use more jpegs too…tho I did write a feature story about it here, http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=3686 I’d like to give it another push next week as the date is nearing. Could someone let me know if it might be appropo to bring my teen daughter as well? I think a mother-daughter multi-generational angle could be a good media spin…tx, Amy
