What is a MEGA Meetup, you ask?
The MEGA Meetup is an opportunity for local progressive organizations, grassroots activists and the netroots to meet, exchange ideas and brainstorm about issues of concern to us all. We'll talk informally for the first hour or so, then have a short 30-minute program where a rep from each group will describe their mission and, if they want, provide suggestions of how we might all work together. The bigger, long-term goal of the MEGA Meetup is for progressive activists and the netroots to coordinate our efforts as we move toward the '08 elections (and beyond).
A MEGA Meetup is way overdue, no?
