Live blogging from Denver!

We look forward to seeing many of you in Denver later this week at Everyday Democracy’s national conference, “Making Every Voice Matter.” But if you can’t make it, be sure to check out the “next best thing to being there”: posts and photos from the scene on our blog, http://www.democracyspace.org. We’ll be live blogging the conference from the opening reception on Thursday, June 12, through the meeting’s Saturday conclusion. And for those of you who will be in Denver – be sure to visit DemocracySpace once you get home to relive your experiences and tell us what you took away from the event.

From brainstorming to webstorming

Do you have a vexing question about organizing large-scale, action-oriented dialogues in your community, or taking them to the next level? Would you like to ask others who've "been there, done that" how to recruit and train facilitators, attract more (and more varied) participants, publicize your programs to a wider range of people, involve elected and appointed officials, or implement action ideas from the beginning? We invite to you to start a “webstorming” session on Everyday Democracy’s DemocracySpace blog. Just send your question to blog manager Julie Fanselow at and we’ll see what kind of answers we can get for you.
