From the NPI Advocate:
NWroots is a regional conference for liberal bloggers, activists, and citizens interested in progressive public policy. The event will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, documentaries, and a candidates social.
The closing keynote address will be delivered by Ujjal Dosanjh. In last month's Federal election, Dosanjh lost his seat in Parliament and announced his retirement from politics. He has previously served as Health Minister in Paul Martin's cabinet, Premier of British Columbia, and B.C.'s Attorney General.
The conference will be finished off with a special performance by the Total Experience Gospel Choir.
NWroots, which is being organized by NPI and the NWroots Fellowship, will be held at the Comedy Underground in Pioneer Square. Breakfast and lunch are included in the registration price of $50 ($25 students). An after-party will take place one block away at the historic Central Saloon. It should be a fun and interesting day.
