Austin Convention Center Room 11 500 E Cesar Chavez St Austin, TX 78701
Event Summary:
At 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, NDN's own Simon Rosenberg will lead a discussion called "A New Era of Possibility: Looking at America's Role in the World After the Bush Presidency." This session will explore the idea that the Bush years have been ones of great disappointment for America, that mistakes have been made, and that great challenges have gone unaddressed. In a world that has seen the rise of nations like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico and the emergence of a powerful, global communications network, the next President will have to restore America's standing in the world, tackle climate change, help to move the world to a post-carbon economy, work to alleviate global poverty, as well as address ongoing geopolitical challenges. We'll hear from a panel of thoughtful leaders as they discuss what kind of global strategy the next President may pursue.
Then at 4:30 p.m., Simon will lead a discussion on "The Dawn of the New Politics," an engaging presentation that makes the argument on how politics is changing in America today, and offers ideas and strategies for how progressives can replicate our 20th century success in this new and dynamic century. This "New Politics" presentation, newly updated for dramatic events of 2008, has been seen at many important meetings across the country in recent months, including the DNC Executive Directors Meeting, the Democratic House Caucus, meetings of key staffers on the Hill, and on the Google campus.
