You'll find Simon back in New York next week. If you missed him on his last visit (or even if you didn't), join him on Friday, July 11 at 8 a.m. for breakfast at the Regency Hotel at 540 Park Ave. in the West Ball Room for a special presentation of NDN's Dawn of a New Politics PowerPoint presenation, which is newly updated on the rise of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama and a look ahead toward this fall and what could be an Obama Administration. Please RSVP to Dave O'Donnell (dodonnell@ndn.org) or at 202-384-1212. Feel free to bring a friend you think migh be interested in seeing this compelling presentation.
The weekend brings NDN to San Diego and the National Council of La Raza's Annual Conference where Andrez Ramirez will be speaking. Andres speaks on Tuesday, July 15, at 8:30 a.m. on Latino Voters: Making Their Mark in the 2008 Election. The presidential candidate that understands and addresses the issues that are relevant to Latino voters stands to gain a significant advantage in his quest for the White House. While some candidates recognize the power of the Latino vote, others choose to neglect the fastest-growing major segment of the U.S. population. If you are at NCLR's conference, stop by Andres' session on Tuesday.
The following week NDN moves to Austin for Netroots Nation. NDN is a premiere sponsor of Netroots Nation and will have two panels at the conference this year. Netroots Nation amplifies progressive voices by providing an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate. Both of NDN's panels will be on Saturday, July 19, where Simon will be speaking with Andrei Cherny on a New Era of Possibility: Looking at America's Role in the World after the Bush Presidency at 3 p.m. Simon will then present his "Dawn of a New Politics" PowerPoint at 4:30 p.m. For the entire agenda for the conference, click here.
Finally, don't forget that NDN will be at Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, at the end of August. We have a full line-up of public and private events, briefings and forums scheduled to showcase our work and celebrate our community. If you would like more information on NDN's convention events, please contact Tracy Leaman at 202-842-7213 or tleaman@ndn.org. NDN also has rooms and entire convention packages.
