Democracy 2.0 and the Soul Of A Citizen

This week the Mobilize.org office was turned into a movie lot, complete with a green screen and a make up artist for the filming of A Soul of A Citizen, a powerful documentary by Jeffrey Abramson (of GhostBusters fame) about what it means to be a responsible citizen in today’s tumultuous, yet exciting, times. I had the pleasure of being interviewed for this documentary and shared the updates and successes of our Democracy 2.0 Campaign. More importantly, we were joined by 11 members of the Millennail Generation, who have signed on to support the Democracy 2.0 Declaration who took turns reading their favorite lines for the Declaration. If you haven’t read the Declaration yet, please read it here: www.mobilize.org.

In the fast paced and often hectic world of Mobilize.org there are few times that I have the opportunity to sit back and really see the impact of the work that we’ve done and listen to the transformational experiences of the people within the Mobilize.org network. I haven’t loved my job as much (and I really love my job) as I did while listening to the Declaration being read, over and over again – with conviction, and passion and sass. Over the past eighteen months we’ve done a lot of work, hosted a number of conferences, written some amazing reports and worked with thousands of people and the one constant has remained the Democracy 2.0 Declaration. This powerful document has continued to impress and inspire both our staff and our partners and most importantly, the amazing millennials that we work with across the country.

Thank you to Liz, Henri, Joe, Ian, Kristen, Karlo, Caitlin, Chris, Nick, Kenneth and Kimi for participating in this exciting event and I’m looking forward to sharing the finishing project with you.
