YOU CAN HELP: by nominating ME - Donalee King below.
With extremist legislation pending in so many states, it is more important than ever that our movement is strong and unified. From bloggers and life-long activists to young leaders, the people powering the progressive movement are more effective when connected.
Netroots Nation, the biggest progressive conference of the year, is an unparalleled opportunity for activists and bloggers from all over the country to engage with and learn from one another.
But it's not free and some great people can't afford to make it on their own. DFA is committed to sponsoring a diverse group of bloggers and activists -- so that they can attend this important conference in June.
Do you know an activist in your community who should attend Netroots Nation, but needs help getting there? Nominate an activist leader from your community today.
DFA (Democracy for America) is a grassroots organization powered by over one million members across the country. They support an open selection process and invite DFA members and netroots activists everywhere to vote for the applicants they believe deserve a scholarship. After approval from the nominee, this information will be made public so the netroots can get to know more about him or her.
The scholarship is made possible by donations from DFA Members, bloggers and activists, they want to give you a chance to nominate someone you know who deserves a scholarship, but might not have otherwise have heard about this opportunity.
Fill out a few short questions about the nominee, and then they'll get an email asking them to finish the application. With your nomination and support, they could win a scholarship to Netroots Nation in Minneapolis this June!

- Tell about the nominee in 250 words or less
