You've read my writing about mothers who work, and about how American social policy fails working families. Now come here me talk about it--along with an all-star panel of respondents.

The event is called Moms Who Work: Myth and Reality, and it's hosted by and held at Demos in New York City, Thursday, June 28, at 12:15. Please do sign up for the event, so we know how many to expect (we want to serve enough milk & cookies, er, refreshments!). Moderating will be former Ambassador Linda Tarr-Whelan, who runs Demos's Women's Leadership Initiative. Panelists include Carol Jenkins, who runs the Women's Media Center; Linda Lisi Juergens, Executive Director of the National Association of Mothers' Centers; and Lois Backon, Vice President of Families and Work Institute. Come join us!
