I'm super excited to announce the launch of our latest site tool - an events calendar! We get so many requests for posts on organizations' events, we figured it was about time we gave activists, orgs, and Feministing readers a place where they can promote their event easily. Anyone who is registered on the site can post to the calendar.

So now we not only have a separate calendar page, but we're also listing upcoming events in the right sidebar. (Check out, for example, my reading tonight at Bluestockings or Planned Parenthood's Bon Voyage Bush Bash!) And adding an event is super easy. Just enter your information, and a Feministing editor will approve it that day - much in the same way Community posts are approved.

This doesn't mean that we'll stop promoting events on the main page - but we wanted to ensure that anyone who had an event to share could do so.

So please try it out and let us know what you think!

If you have any trouble using the calendar/events page, please feel free to email me; just put "events" in the subject line.

I think it would be great if the location for each event on the calendar could be highlighted a little more, making skimming for your part of the country a little easier. Maybe put the location on its own line in each calendar entry, or have a way to sort by location?

Awesome! Definitely a way to sort by location is essential.
