Media and Democracy Reform
Speakers:
Date: Friday, June 6th
Time: 3:30pm to 5:00pm
Room: Auditorium 2
Track: Media Reform Activism and Movement Building
Session Type: panel
This fast-paced, participatory session is designed to connect activists working on a variety of structural reform issues to a broad vision of democracy that features full and secure enfranchisement, expanded voter choice, free-flowing public dialogue and direct control of local, county, state and national institutions. Leading thinkers, strategists and activists will discuss connections among efforts to win media reform, protect voters in the 2008 elections, transform electoral politics through public financing, instant-runoff voting, proportional representation, universal voter registration and a national popular vote, and seek local empowerment through participatory budgeting, student unions, home rule and war referenda.

Program Update: Walter Mosley
We're pleased to announce that Walter Mosley, best-selling author of more than 20 novels, is joining this panel. Though he is best known for his works of fiction such as the Easy Rawlins series and R.L's Dream, Mosley has been dedicating much of his time recently to political writing and activism.
