Daily Kos is coming to North Carolina
Daily Kos Connects is a regional summit of readers and activists. Front-pagers, local organizers, activists and special guests connect for progressive strategizing and camaraderie. Throughout the convening, you’ll have access to our Connect! Unite! Act! team and learn how to maximize Daily Kos tools to empower your community and directly impact the political process.
We kick off on Friday afternoon with words from Rev. William Barber II, President of the NC NAACP and leader of the Moral Monday movement. Saturday speakers include the blog's founder, Markos Moulitsas, and Daily Kos staff writers, Joan McCarter, Meteor Blades, and Denise Oliver-Velez.
We are the strongest we’ve ever been and on September 25, we are gathering in Asheville, NC to build relationships and strategize about how the Daily Kos community will impact the next election. Click here to reserve your spot.
