Dear Friend,
With one week to go, we're thrilled to announce that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the junior senator from our home state of New York, will be joining the already stellar array of keynoters and panelists presenting at Personal Democracy Forum 2017 next week.
The question of how to protect our democracy during the age of Trump will be addressed front and center by her, by her colleague Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and many of our other keynoters who are themselves leading organizers of today's most vital movements.
But to see Gillibrand and Booker's talks, along with the inspiring and challenging presentations of our other 35 keynoters, and to dig deep into the wisdom shared across our 28 jam-packed panels, you need to buy a ticket.
We're proud that this year's PDF is our most balanced and diverse ever, with 59%** of our 137 speakers who are women and 36% from communities of color. No other tech event is like PDF; if you are someone who is actively engaged in figuring out how we can make the world--and our country--a better place, you need to be there. 
All our best,
Andrew Rasiej, Micah Sifry and the team at Personal Democracy Media
** We're pleased that our friends at Gender Avenger, who are leading the fight for equity for women at public events and in the media, recognized our efforts in this area again this year.
