Last August hundreds of people from across the country convened in Madison, WI for the 2nd Democracy Convention. Made up of nine individual conferences, the Convention was an extraordinary space for individuals and organizations to network with and learn from one another in the service of building a larger, more dynamic democracy movement. To ensure that the content from the Democracy Convention is shared as far as possible, we're continuing to post video of some of the amazing Convention plenaries and workshops that made up the five day event.
