I've known about this for a bit, and I'm glad we can finally announce it. Via email:
Some of 2012's most exciting races involve strong, progressive women who are leading the national conversation on not only on women's issues but also things like the economy and LGBT rights.
Massachusetts' Elizabeth Warren, Hawaii's Mazie Hirono and Washington's Darcy Burner are each known for standing up for workers, the middle class and equal opportunity for all. That's why we're excited to have the three of them on the big stage at Netroots Nation in a few weeks.

In a Friday lunchtime session moderated by the Huffington Post's Amanda Terkel, Warren, Hirono and Burner will address the past year's growing War on Women and the GOP war on the middle class. They'll discuss what playing offense looks like for women and how election wins this fall will translate to policy victories in 2013 and beyond.
Throughout the conference, you'll also hear from other progressive leaders including Van Jones, Eric Schneiderman, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Rep. Keith Ellison, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Rep. David Cicilline, Rep. Jim Langevin and more to be announced soon.
Last week, we announced Thursday night's keynote session, headlined by New York AG Eric Schneiderman. More names are coming, so
register now!
Also: Southwest has a 35% sale today, and they do service Providence. (Alternately, as you're looking at flights, you can fly into Boston, and take a 1h30m Peter Pan bus straight to downtown Providence for $20.)
Any questions? I'm here.
9:35 AM PT: More on the session here, including a link to many more panels and trainings we're doing on the GOP War on Women, and how we're all fighting back.
