We are so grateful to our sponsors for this event: Fearless Finance and Flower + Furbish.

Merchandise

One of our goals for this weekend is to create new friendships and connections within the community. If you want to be easily identified by other listeners around town, we’ve created special buttons that you can wear to identify yourself to other Pantsuit Politics community members. You can find them in our merch store, along with a variety of other wearable merch.

BOOKS

We’ll have copies of Sarah and Beth’s books for sale and do a formal book signing after the live show on Saturday night. They will also have Sharpies and be ready to sign your copies at every event over the course of the weekend, so no need to wait until Saturday night if you have your copy already. Bring it to yoga or lunch and they’ll sign it for you there!
