Please join Good Ol' Girls and Girls in Tech for a special joint presentation by Peter Leyden, Director of the New Politics Institute and former Managing Editor of Wired magazine.

This engaging presentation lauded by U.S. Congressional leaders across the  country and seen on the Google campus draws into
focus how advances in technology and new media, along with dramatic shifts in the demographics and generational make up of the country, are rapidly reshaping our politics.  

It also offers ideas and strategies for how progressives can replicate our 20th century success in this new and dynamic century.
