Hi guys,
We're looking forward to this event! Due to an error on our part, we forgot to turn off the ability to bring guests to this event.

So, if you RSVP'd with a guest, please reply to this comment with their names by TODAY, May 11 at 4 pm ET so we can add them manually to the guest list.
Thanks,
Elana

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.

This was a great event. I learned so much and will make it a priority to be outspoken about the online harassment that journalists are faced with on a daily basis. I realized what a privilege it is to share my world view without feeling like my life is in danger. Thank you to the panelists who shared their stories.
