And finally, for those of you who like to plan far in advance, two events to keep on your radar:
RootsCamp National: The New Organizing Institute will be holding this un-conference and election debrief for progressive organizers and activists on Nov. 30th and Dec. 1st 2012, at the DC Convention Center. It’s only $35 to get in, and we here at eM&P also think they’ll stream a number of events.
National Conference for Media Reform: Free Press holds this conference every year to promote media reform and to discuss some of the most pressing issues in the media environment – from access, broadband and spectrum issues to journalism issues and more. While it’s being held in Denver on April 5-7th 2013 this time around, they too will most likely stream events and lectures.
