Piash and I will be attending Netroots Nations in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania this week on behalf of DreamActivist. I am participating in a pre-conference blogger summit, as well as the panel below, as a late addition since I didn’t think I was attending till last week.

Please join us:

Event: Netroots Nation Panel- Perspectives from the Social Change Blogosphere
“Case Studies from Civil Rights/Pro-Migrant Bloggers”
What: Convention
Host: Kety Esquivel
Start Time: Friday, August 14 at 4:30pm
End Time: Friday, August 14 at 5:45pm
Where: Room 311, David L. Lawrence Convention Center

Obviously, I am on the panel to talk about the DREAM Act and how we have been using new media to bring about social change for immigrants. I believe the subaltern can speak and should be encouraged to speak and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to narrate our stories, hard work and perseverance. I truly believe that it is best for us to speak out without fear of repercussions, rather than have someone speak for us. And I am pretty excited about being there since this is the first time I get to meet Dave Bennion (Change.org), who will be on the panel with me and whom we have been working with for over a year. My other fellow panelists are Kety Esquivel (NCLR, CrossLeft), Dee (Immigration Talk with a Mexican American), and Edmundo Rocha (Para Justicia Y Libertad).
