Calling all Progressives: It’s time to bust out the virtual auction paddles and open up those wallets. Netroots is gearing up for their 2014 conference and event organizers need your help.
In preparation for the annual gathering of bloggers, politicians and activists on the Left, Netroots Nation is hosting an online auction to hep fund next year’s annual conference, being held in Detroit.
“Fundraisers like this one help keep registration costs down and give activists around the country opportunities to network with progressive leaders, learn new techniques to advance progressive values and collaborate on common causes,” Karen Kolber of the group said in a blast email to supporters.
Sure, some of the items Netroots organizers have up for auction are cool, like a stay in the Marriott Renaissance Center’s Governor Suite at Netroots Nation 2014, valued at more than $4,300. But others are a bit more … questionable.
