It's time to make more strategic use of online media.
Studies show that the internet is an increasing force in political campaigns. Duh. If you're reading this diary right now, I bet you already know that. But online organizing and online media is so new in politics that we're all still figuring out how to use it to make the greatest impact. Right now most progressive organizations and campaigns misuse or even shun blogs, much less make it a part of their strategy.
We're going to change that.
Join me and Tim Tagaris, Internet Communications Director for Ned Lamont's Campaign, tonight at 8:30 ET, for a free conference call on how to leverage online media:

The DFA Night School was an initiative we started a few months ago to get professional training to activists all across the country. DFA's always been on the forefront on using the internet to change politics. Now we're pioneering the use of the internet for political training.
Tim and I will talk about the best ways to blog, the best ways to network in the netroots, and the possibility of getting your story picked up by the mainstream media. Last week, DFA Night School covered Breaking Into the Mainstream Media, and almost fifteen hundred people signed up to participate. It's a conference call and a web presentation. You can download the presentation as a .pdf if you can't be on the phone and the internet at the same time.
It's free (for you, anyway) and we've even set up a toll-free number so you don't have to use your long-distance. We have a community here. Let's leverage this community to really make an impact. We could use a little savvy. That's my job, to figure out how to deliver some skill to the netroots. I love to bitch and moan, like we all do. But really, I like to win even more.
Here's how to sign up:
