As the end of the summer is upon us and advocacy groups are gearing up for some serious activism this fall (check out the pic from last weekend's health care reform rally in NYC, via NARAL Pro-Choice New York), I thought I'd highlight a couple of awesome things going on this month that I've heard about:
NARAL Pro-Choice New York is kicking off their Activist Leadership Circle training next Wednesday, September 9th. If you're interested in joining their efforts in pushing for health care reform, reproductive rights legislation and elections in New York, email their community organizer.
A pool party for Lambda Legal in West Hollywood on the 13th. Nice.
The Younger Women's Task Force in D.C. is having an Intergenerational Discussion on Feminism on September 15th. (Miriam will be there!)
On Saturday, September 19th, the Doula Project is holding an Activist Olympics in McCarren Park in Williamsburg. Doesn't get more fun than that.
Remember that we have an events calendar, so please post anything going on that you know about! (More non-east and west coast events encouraged!)

GABRIELA Network, San Diego chapter of the Mariposa Alliance cordially invites you to Stop The Traffick Jam on SATURDAY Sept. 19, 2009 @ 7pm.
The goal of the benefit concert is to raise awareness through the use of hiphop about the dangers of sex trafficking, pimping and prostitution. Organizers hope to reach out to young audiences and bring awareness of the ways in which young women and children are lured, tricked, or coerced into a life of sexual exploitation.
