We hope folks living in the Twin Cities area and in Minneapolis for the big National Conference on Media Reform will join us for a terrific day of electoral reform workshops and a star-studded plenary finale in the early evening next Thursday, June 5th - including Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman, The Nation’s John Nichols, In These Times’ Joel Bleifuss prize-winning novelist (Devil in a Blue Dress, etc) Walter Mosley and Common Cause president Bob Edgar. See the latest at our conference website Claim Democracy. The registration deadline approaches!
