New media tools and online organizing have proved to be the future of political campaigning, but what of governance? Now that the election's over, many are asking: What's next?
Join Netroots Nation, the Internet Advocacy Roundtable, and Think Progress for a panel discussion on the role of the Netroots and technology in the next four years. The panel is free to the public. A networking hour and book signing with Mike Lux will follow.
Panelists: Sam Graham-Felsen, Michael Lux, Ari Melber, Amanda Terkel
Moderated by Cheryl Contee
How will the new administration use technology and online organizing to keep grassroots activists interested in day-to-day governance? Will the the thousands of people who were inspired to volunteer during the campaign remain engaged now that the ballots have been counted? And how will Netroots activists-—who've spent years rallying for change through electoral politics—-pivot to focus on governance?
On which issues should we will partner with the Obama administration, and on which issues must we rally support to pressure the administration and hold officials accountable? As activists, what benchmarks and timetables should we be setting for the issues we feel are most important?
This panel will focus on how the Netroots and the new administration might use the momentum from the past year to move toward building a more progressive America.
