NN MAILING LIST
With Netroots Nation 2008 behind us, we're thrilled to be sponsors of another huge event that provides citizen journalists and activists unparalleled access to the premier political event of the year—or decade.
Hosted by the good folks at the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado, Daily Kos and ProgressNow, the Big Tent is the place to be for new media journalists, bloggers, reporters and non-profit leaders in town for the DNC.
The Big Tent is an 8,000-square-foot, two-story structure built in the parking lot of the Alliance Center that will feature a bloggers lounge and a Digg Stage with tons of panels and sessions (see the full schedule here), as well as a Google Retreat with a YouTube kiosk where you can make your own YouTube videos.
If you like what's happening in the Big Tent, you don't want to miss Netroots Nation next August in Pittsburgh! If you register between now and Thursday, you'll be entered to win a suite or one of two hotel stays. Register now (while prices are lowest) at regonline.com/nn09.
We look forward to seeing you this week!
Part of our mission at Netroots Nation is to provide opportunities for progressives to exchange ideas and learn how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate. We believe that each of you plays a significant role in changing the face of progressive politics.
Through our annual Netroots Nation convention--and starting this month, through a series of regional salons that will be held throughout the year--we aim to strengthen our community, inspire action and serve as an incubator for ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere.
Those same values are the basis for Markos Moulitsas Zúniga's forthcoming book, "Taking on the System: Rules for Radical Change in a Digital Era."
For our first regional event, held last week in San Francisco, we kicked off the release of Markos' book tour, but you can still get your signed copy of the book now.
