We’re Three!
Three years ago today, a group of women from around the country sat in my living room. The New Agenda was founded in tribute to Hillary Clinton and her herstorical 2008 presidential campaign. We vowed that day: “never again” will we be silent when a woman leader is mistreated. We have lived up to that vow, and stayed true to our vision: a voice for all women.
Fast forward.
This past year has been truly exceptional. Our 5 favorite highlights include:
The New Agenda on Campus, our outreach to college and young women, …

Rather than welcome Palin with a sisterly embrace, they pursued her with machetes of words for daring to utter their sacred …

Feminist Cooties and the Primary-Go-Round
The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
Caveat: I am aware that this post is self-important and melodramatic. The personal is political, and politics have real personal consequences for people.
I’ve been MIA for the last little while because grad school is exhausting, and because I was in remission, briefly, from my debilitating political hypervigilance (a result of Primary PTSD from 2008). But oh boy, things are spinning up again and as such I get to start getting harassed on my two …

Clinton Voters still skeptical of Obama for 2012
From The Daily Caller:
Though many Hillary Clinton supporters clenched their teeth and supported Barack Obama in 2008, many remain frustrated with the president’s failure to champion women’s issues and believe he should expect a lower turnout among women for his 2012 reelection.
“After 2008 [Clinton voters] were basically told get over it, and they haven’t gotten over it,” Amy Siskind, president of the feminist advocacy group The New Agenda, told The Daily Caller.

“In Obama’s coalition, women do not play as strong a role,” Lara Brown, assistant …
