Last week, Rep. Jackie Speier introduced H.R. 1887 to Congress to create a Presidential Commission on Women, the first since the days of JFK. State and local commissions have been achieving a variety of objectives now for many years, from awareness raising on the concerns of women to more concrete projects like collecting past due [...]

Emily–I see myself as a bridge-builder and a cross-pollinator among women’s groups, and I have been spending time getting to know all the players in the femisphere, as well as forming Feminist Advisory Board for Obama, which now exists on both Facebook and Organizing for America.  I’m very impressed with Feminist Campus’ energy and organization, [...]
