As a Netroots Nation regular since 2008 who didn't attend this year's in Phoenix I saw some news that I wanted to pass along.
Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley will attend Hillary Clinton will not be coming.
Sanders, Warren to attend progressive Phoenix rally
Sanders will be joined by fellow 2016 Democratic hopeful Martin O’Malley, a former Maryland governor and Baltimore mayor, at a 10:30 a.m. Saturday Netroots Nation town-hall forum at the Convention Center. Sanders also will appear at a 7 p.m. Saturday campaign rally.
Next year's Netroots Nation will be in St. Louis.
Netroots Nation 2016 to be held in St. Louis, Missouri from July 14th-17th
By Andrew Villeneuve
The eleventh gathering of Netroots Nation, taking place ten years after the very first YearlyKos, will be held July 14th-17th in St. Louis, Missouri, the convention’s executive director Raven Brooks announced a few minutes ago.
NN 2016 will happen just a few days ahead of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, which runs from July 18th-21st.
Republicans who clawed their way to
St. Louis will be following us? Maybe some of us will decide to linger in St. Louis a little longer to protest the party of the Top 0.01%.
We’re pleased that Netroots Nation is once again headed to a city it hasn’t been to before. Keeping the convention moving around the country prevents it from becoming dull and predictable. And it also ensures that different states and regions of the country get the chance to host the event.
I couldn't agree with Andrew more!
