From January 9-11 Mobilize.org, with 5 other organizations, hosted Constitutional Convention: Building Democracy 2.0. Millennials- young people like you and me!- from as far as California and Washington met in historic Philadelphia, participated in a Modern Constitutional Convention, and passed two amendments of their own to our founding document.
During this convention, teams of Millenials also competed and were awarded grant monies to make an impact in their local and national communities. Some products of these Millennials’ innovative minds are CivicSpark, a project to provide online legislative tracking services for local governments in the state of Washington, and School Board 2.0, an online platform to make school board meetings more accessible and transparent to the general public.
Constitutional Convention was a great success and marked only the beginning of what Mobilize.org will accomplish in 2009. Mobilize.org will continue to fill the year with dialogue, grant summits, Millennial policy change, and projects to educate, empower, and energize Millennials to move public policy.
We still have some Party for the Presidency t-shirts available! Get your t-shirt before it’s gone! Order your gear for your Inauguration celebrations! http://www.mystore.com/mobilize .
PS: During next few weeks you will get a chance to read one or two blog entries of the Grantees to follow up their progress and share their experiences.
