Mr. Slack Goes To Washington
I just arrived in DC where I’ll be speaking at the Pledge 2 Protect conference about how anti-genocide activists can create viral videos, and of course promoting the HPA.
I feel as though I have been slightly disconnected from the anti-genocide movement for a bit – in part because the HPA has been focusing on Leaky Con, Azkatraz, WWDD, Nine and Three Quarters, Magical Acts of Kindness, Wrock 4 Equality, etc. and in part because I feel that the anti-genocide movement has been waiting for Obama to release the Sudan review policy. The policy has been released so the movement now has more to organize around. Further, this movement has been working on building something much bigger and I am looking forward to be hearing with all these amazing activists in a historic time in dealing with one of humanity’s greatest problems in our collective history.
I’ll let you know how things go and will try to do some live blogging.
