In October 2007, Mobilize.org sent me to Washington DC to take part in their Democracy 2.0 conference and create the organization’s blogsite. Here I am at The Capitol:
Mobilize.org is an all-partisan organization that promotes youth civic engagement. I know Election 2008 is hot right now, but Mobilize is not just about voting, it’s about getting involved in civic responsibility and public policy on the local, national and global level.
The COO of Mobilize is my friend Maya Enista, whom I met 6 years ago when I interviewed her for my first ever front page article at The Home News Tribune. I actually found an old follow up story I wrote about Maya, and you can read it here. Since then, Maya and I have become good friends, and she’s introduced me to some incredible and impressive young people.
I shot the video below of Chiuba, one of the impressive youngsters I met at Mobilize.
And finally, here’s David Smith, CEO of Mobilize, presenting the Democracy 2.0 Declaration at The National Conference on Citizenship. I shot this video from the audience.
