Time
magazine calls 2008 “the year of the youth vote.” At Netroots Nation,
we hope to make every year about successful youth organizing.
Because
we aim to continually bring new voices into the progressive movement,
for the first time ever, we are offering a special student rate for
those enrolled at least half-time at a high school, community college,
trade school or university.
For just $50, you can participate in
four days of insightful panels, training sessions and networking
opportunities at the grassroots event of the year–the annual Netroots
Nation convention to be held in Pittsburgh August 13-16.

From
local campaigns to the past presidential race, youth activists like you
have been a vital part of bottom-up organizing efforts. Now that the
election’s over, it’s more important than ever that you remain an
active part of the political process.
Like always, this year’s
convention will feature tons of panels, training sessions, workshops
and keynotes to help teach you how to be more effective in using
technology to influence the public debate. Past gatherings have
included a Presidential Leadership Forum that drew seven Democratic
candidates, a surprise visit from Al Gore and an interactive Ask the
Speaker session with Nancy Pelosi, so what are you waiting for?
There are a limited number of student registrations. Click here register now: regonline.com/nn09.
Note:
You must provide documentation proving you are at least a half-time
student at a high school, community college, trade school or university
to qualify for this special student rate. Otherwise, standard
conference rates will apply.
