Millennials Mobilize to Address Money In Politics

www.mobilize.org
Thanks to sponsorship by the Sunlight Foundation and Common Cause, Mobilize.org is bringing Millennials together to address the critical issue of Money In Politics. On September 19-21, 2008, our organization will be holding our national summit on Money in Politics, the Democracy 2.0 Entrepreneur Grant Summit. We are looking for Millennials to come and discuss the issue and then propose grassroots solutions that make use of Web 2.0 tools such as texting, Facebook, Twitter, wikis, mash-ups and blogging.


The Money in Politics Grant Summit presents members of the Millennial Generation with the opportunity to identify a need for change at the local, state, or national level for clean elections practices and develop an innovative idea. Participation is FREE.

While the summit focuses on the ideas and participation of the Millennial entrepreneurs, we are excited to welcome keynote speakers including Nancy Watzman (Sunlight Foundation) and Sam Rasoul (Change Congress Pledge Candidate for U.S. Rep. VA-6).  Other speakers will be announced when they are confirmed.
