| Because the netroots are such a crucial component of the progressive movement, Democracy for America is heavily invested in cultivating a strong online community - and ever since the first Yearly Kos, Netroots Nation has been a big part of that community. For three years now we have been committed to sending talented and deserving individuals to Netroots Nation, and in 2011 we hope to break financial barriers for 40 outstanding applicants.
Populous states like California and New York often get more attention, but we know that there are progressive voices in Colorado too - and we don't want you to be drowned out. Apply for a scholarship to attend Netroots Nation this summer, and together we can show the blogosphere that there are progressives across the country, in every state, and especially in Colorado.
The Netroots Nation Scholarship Competition is underway and you can apply and start getting votes here right now. Local bloggers like you have so much to contribute to Netroots Nation, and I hope that DFA can help make it possible for you to be there.
Even if you don't plan on applying, please visit the site to vote for the candidates you think most deserve a scholarship. The link is: http://www.democracyforamerica... and feel free to share it with anyone you think should apply.
I'm here to engage. Please post any questions or thoughts about the scholarship competition as comments.
I hope to meet some great Colorado progressives in Minneapolis this summer! |
