The rumor is Boston in October. I don't have anything concrete yet, but here's what the HFP website (http://www.hfp.heinz.org/programs/womensconferences.html) says:

"The Women's Health and the Environment Conference series explores the impact of the physical, psychological, and economic environment on the health and well-being of women. This conference series began in 1996 as a project of the Heinz Family Philanthropies, with a view to bringing together environmental and women's health leaders. Through 2006, this conference has been held each fall in Boston, attracting thousands of women, activists, and mothers for panel discussions by some of the leading experts on women's issues. This year, for the first time, the conference series is adding a Pittsburgh event."

Words to live by

hmmm. i received this email from NARAL today. i'm not sure i like it much. there's just enough ignorance in it to piss me off. i mean, what century are we in that "latinos" and black women are the *only* women of color? what happened to asian, arabs and native women? and the three "pillars" that are being organized around, community control, holistic health, and positive motherhood, sound like they have been re-written by some over anxious white dude who doesn't want to piss off the white women who support NARAL (established women of color org's *do* organize around these things, it just sounds like the fierce women of color language has been co-opted). and the email title is as follows: " It's time to Recognize! the reproductive health needs of women of color". ummm, is it really time? forty years after women of color started organizing on their own because white women couldn't bear to make us a part of the movement, it is *finally* time?
grrr.
