Today and tomorrow, I will be blogging from the ninth annual Personal Democracy Forum in New York City. The event bills itself as the world’s premiere forum on the nexus of democracy, politics, social advocay and public life. The theme of this year’s forum is “The Internet’s New Political Power.” The program covers issues ranging from internet freedom in China to online consumer organizing to political fundraising in the digital age. Stay tuned.
