Global Poverty and the Netroots
Share
This weekend I was in Pittsburgh attending the fourth annual Netroots Nation conference for politically minded online bloggers and activists from around the country. It was a great opportunity to learn about new technology and resources available for spreading awareness and movement building, and network with other people on the front lines of this quickly evolving world.
On Friday I got to live-blog a panel on “Global Solutions for Global Poverty” for the blog UN Dispatch. On the panel was Ray Offenheiser, President of Oxfam-America; Anita Sharma, North American coordinator for the United Nations Millennium Campaign; Matthew Yglesias, fellow of the Center for American Progress; and ONE’s own Ginny Simmons! Mark Leon Goldberg of UN Dispatch moderated.
It was a great panel and a really cool event to cover. Check it out here.
