Friends and supporters of 51 Percent have been keeping me updated as the organization's press release spread (thanks to those who have kept me posted). The significance of it spreading is that not every press release gets picked up across a range of outlets, and especially for those who have donated to support this blog in the name of helping 51 Percent, I want them to be aware that their money is paying off. The variety of outlets running the release bodes well for interest in 51 Percent, which is a nonprofit educational organization aiming to put at least 51 percent of women in every area of our public lives. So, whether it is a tech site, a news site, or a business site, having the announcement of the formation of the organization picked up makes sense. Finally, many of the sites make it to share or bookmark the release.
For example, many include this sort of button:
and I hope that this leads to further dissemination of the announcement of 51 Percent's formation.

Meanwhile, there is a possible logo for the group, created by a generous advertiser/marketer Friend of 51 Percent. Constructive feedback welcome. All comments on the logo will be read, none will be posted. This logo, although a beta-version, is copyrighted, with all rights reserved to 51 Percent.
Heidi, I am really excited about the 51% movement! This is what we've needed for years. And there's something about getting incorporated, with a logo!, that just makes it feel real. :lol: Seriously. It's funny, but it's also true.
