In an attempt to bring more original and interactive content to my community at MotherTalkers, I am hosting a live blog chat for our 9 a.m. PT/ 12 p.m. ET post this Friday.
We will be chatting with Arcelia Hurtado, executive director of Equal Rights Advocates, an advocacy organization for women and girls. For over a decade, Arcelia has worked as an attorney representing the disenfranchised like immigrants and inmates on death row. She has litigated cases before the California Supreme Court.
You'll probably be hearing a lot more about her as she is prepared to pursue a class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart for pay discrimination against women. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case this Tuesday.
Arcelia, by the way, is also a wife and the mother of two children. If you'd like to chat with her about the case, how to raise confident girls or whatever else is on your mind, please join us! I've had the pleasure of meeting her in the past and she is sharp as a whip and quite passionate about social justice. I thought many in this community would be interested.
Also, if you can't make the chat, but would like me to ask her a question, please drop it here or e-mail me at elisa at mothertalkers dot com. Many thanks all!
