About event
Join WDI USA from September 20-22 in Atlanta, GA, for our third national women’s political convention. Last year, this gathering of radical feminists focused on accelerating the Women’s Liberation Movement. This year, we will reconvene to amplify it. 

Please note: this is a women-only event.

On registration rates: 

  • We have also set aside a limited number of registrations at a hardship rate. Please reserve one of these only if you truly would not be able to attend the convention at the Expected rate.
  • The Appreciated rate does not confer any extra attendee benefits: it represents an additional contribution toward the costs of the event, which ticket sales alone cannot cover. We are grateful to each registrant able and willing to subsidize the attendance of women with fewer resources.
  • Please note that this is a private event and WDI USA reserves the right to cancel and refund any registration at any time for any reason.

WDI USA, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, has notified the IRS of its intent to operate as a 501(c)(4) organization. Convention registrations are not tax-deductible. WDI USA reserves the right to cancel and refund the ticket of any registrant, for any reason, at any time.
