Today is the opening day of the annual Netroots Nation auction. This is one of the biggest fundraisers for Netroots Nation.
As chairman of the board of directors, I have seen how much the benefits of Netroots Nation go beyond those who have been able to attend the convention. Our event strengthens the progressive movement through trainings, meet-ups and strategic sessions that have taken place at the annual convention, in the little in-between spaces during the conference, as well as the state meetings around the country.
We’ve got some great items this year including:
Also up for bid: backstage passes for the mainstage for each day of NN11 in Minneapolis;
a front row table for the main room (and folks there in Vegas will attest to how far I will go to protect it); and, OMG,
lunch or coffee with the David Waldman. And, of course, scores of unique pieces of arts and crafts as well as books and political memorabilia.
We expect around 100 items in this year's auction and runs through Tuesday, September 21st. Remember there is only one auction this year, so check out the many items up for bid and bid generously.
