The Day After: A Feminist Town Forum
I know it seems impossible to think about after the election... but the Center for New Words is hosting an awesome post-election event on Wednesday:
The Day After: A Feminist Town Forum
Wednesday, November 5 @ 7:00PM
PARTICIPATE IN PERSON: Cambridge Family YMCA, 820 Mass. Ave., Cambridge

It's been a long election season, and now it's time to come together to figure out what it all means and what's next.
At this culmination of our This Is What Women Want election project, please join us, our panel of national leaders and the feminist community nationwide to discuss what happened on Election Day, and what we should be thinking about and doing now to fight for equality and justice for all.
This is a first of its kind event convening feminists from around the country live via the blogosphere! Watch live, converse with other audience members around the country and submit your comments and questions in real time.
Panelists will include:
BYLLYE AVERY: Founder of the National Black Women's Health Project and MacArthur Genius Award Recipient

If you're not in Boston, you'll be able to follow the conversation here at Feministing. Just load up our site on Wednesday at 7pm, and you'll be a virtual part of the town hall.
