The Moms Clean Air Force team is headed to the BlogHer ’12 Conference in New York City this week!

What is the BlogHer ’12 Conference?

The BlogHer Conference is an event where thousands of bloggers come together to connect, learn and inspire. This conference is particularly focused on highlighting the skills and talents of women who blog.

Why is MCAF attending?

MCAF is an official non-profit sponsor of the BlogHer ’12 Conference. We hope to meet lots of amazing women (and a few men) at the MCAF booth. We’ll have the opportunity to educate the blogosphere about clean air. We will answer questions about air pollution, children’s health and global warming…and we’ll discuss why these issues are so important for ourselves, our children, and future generations. Last year, hundreds of women joined Moms Clean Air Force at BlogHer ’11, and our hope is to inspire all members of the Force to advocate for clean air and children’s health.

Who will be at BlogHer ‘12 from the MCAF team?

Dominique Browning, MCAF Co-founder and Senior Director
Ronnie Citron-Fink (me), MCAF Managing Editor
Erin O’Sullivan, MCAF Campaign Field Manager
Shaun Dakin, MCAF Director of Social Media

Also, a few of our fabulous bloggers and friends will be stopping by to help out at the booth.

Special MCAF BlogHer ‘12 Conference events:

Dominique will be speaking on the panel: The Political | Strength in Numbers: Forming and Using Online Orgs to Make Change
Author, Beth Terry will be signing her popular new book, Plastic-Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How You Can Too. Beth has generously offered to donate a portion of her book sales to MCAF! You can read her MCAF guest post HERE.

Dear Carolyn:
Having written extensively about the impact of coal on those who have mined it for years (Ordinary Citizens Fight Big Coal In "The Last Mountain"), your reaction ignores the voices of those who have been part of the coal producing community who have come to the understanding that coal impacts both the land and their health. Jobs and clean air are not mutually exclusive. If anything, building a sustainable economy will not only help the country, but insure that the planet is around for the next century. I hope you will take a look at the my piece on "The Last Mountain."
