Netroots Nation is an annual gathering of the Netroots community, the US-based (but globally focused and inclusive) non-partisan grassroots political community that uses the Internet and blogs as primary tools for expressing viewpoints, building consensus, acting to change the status quo and mobilizing and informing each other and the world about current events, grassroots actions, networks, policy and more.
Netroots Nation amplifies progressive voices by providing an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate. Within that campus, we strengthen community, inspire action and serve as an incubator for progressive ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere.
