Women of the Storm, in concert with Dillard, Loyola, Tulane and Xavier universities, has prepared a unique proposal to the Commission on Presidential Debates to host one of the three official debates in fall, 2008, at the state-of-the-art Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Never before has a consortium of academic institutions joined in a collaboration with a non-profit grassroots group to host such an event - which attracts thousands of media from all over the world and has been compared to the Superbowl in its impact on the host city.
