 The 2009 Campus Progress National Conference: Delivering ChangeJuly 8, 2009 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C.
You organized in your community. You registered voters. You voted. Progressives won. Now what?
At the fifth annual Campus Progress National Conference, to be held on July 8, 2009, in Washington DC, hundreds of young people will come together to address the task of Delivering Change. They will discuss the critical challenges our generation faces, and to develop the ideas, networks, and innovations that will help us meet those challenges.
Our generation has a real opportunity to deliver change – to move the country in a strongly progressive direction. Just as our hard work was essential to bringing progressive results in 2008, we need to stay dedicated to working for progressive change, to pressing government for action, to ensuring an economic recovery effort that advances opportunity for all. At the Campus Progress National Conference, we’ll come together and prove we’re serious about a progressive future, and we’re not letting anyone stand in our way.
Dahlia Lithwick to Keynote Journalism Conference
Dahlia Lithwick knows journalism.
She’s a senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate, as well as a contributing editor to Newsweek. She specializes in coverage of legal issues, from the high-stakes Microsoft trial years ago to the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor today. (Check out her recent appearance on Rachel Maddow and also this article discussing Republican strategy against Sotomayor.)
So we are thrilled to announce that Dahlia will be addressing the 2009 Journalism Conference as a keynote speaker.
Before joining Slate, she worked for a family law firm in Reno, Nev., and clerked for Procter Hug, chief justice of the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1996. Her work has appeared in the New Republic, Commentary, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Elle and on CNN.com. She is a weekly legal commentator for the NPR show, Day to Day, and was awarded the Online News Association’s award for online commentary in 2001.
Ms. Lithwick’s keynote speech will be a fitting end to a day of distinguished journalists- all with the goal of teaching you how to get where they are, and beyond. So give yourself the edge, and apply:
