In a few hours I'll be heading up the street for the Take Back America progressive politics conference. I'll try to give updates as often as possible. Most of the sessions are standard political issue based, but there are a few sessions on the ever-changing agenda that look very interesting. I'm particularly looking forward to We've Got Issues: Young People in Action and Women Rising: The Issues that Count (today, at the same time of course, damnit), Poverty and Politics: Katrina's Clarion Call (tomorrow) Hip Hop Artists and Activists: Politically Empowering a Culture of Resistance (also tomorrow), and Diversifying the Progressive Candidate Pool: Addressing Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation (Wednesday). And, of course, all of the events involving free food and booze.

If any Feministing readers are attending the conference, drop me an email at jen@feministing.com.
