PIN Panels at Netroots Nation

DateThursday, July 15, 2010 at 06:20PM

Barry Kendall, Executive Director of the Progressive Ideas Network, will moderate two panels at this year's Netroots Nation convention in Las Vegas.

Leveling the Playing Field: Improving How We Communicate about Inequality

SATURDAY, JULY 24TH 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM

Current levels of economic inequality are not only immoral, they're hastening the demise of our economy. Gains to the wealthiest one percent have come at the expense of the working and now unemployed poor. But our arguments about the dangers of inequality have fallen largely on deaf ears, subject always to the supremacy of the market and the grand mythology of self-made millionaires. In this session, we'll present research initiated and sponsored by the Progressive Ideas Network into the language of inequality—what's working and not in our discourse—and how to put forth compelling arguments for policies that halt and minimize economic inequality. We will reveal how people come to judgments about inequality, suggesting both overarching frameworks and immediate language fixes to make our case loudly and persuasively that this is a man-made problem we can and must address.

Panelists: Anat Shenker-Osorio, Chuck Collins, Barry Kendall (moderator)

Think Tanks and Netroots: Best Practices for Working Together

FRIDAY, JULY 23RD 4:30 PM - 5:45 PM

How can bloggers become more engaged in the policy development process at progressive think tanks? How should think tanks reach out to bloggers and package their materials for maximum impact? This session will address these questions and more about how think tanks and bloggers are already working well together and ways we can continue to build pipelines for progressive ideas, policies and messages.

Panelists: Bill Scher, Alan Rosenblatt, Lynn Parramore, Murshed Zaheed, Barry Kendall (moderator)
