Invite: A Better Deal Conference

You're invited! Check out the "A Better Deal" conference, sponsored by Demos and in partnership with Rock the Vote and a bunch of other great organizations. The event is in D.C. on May 8th and 9th.

WHAT: Hundreds of young activists meeting to learn about their generation's economic crisis. The conference is not just about ideas, though – it's about action. Attendees will get the tools to connect politics to the personal financial struggles of young voters, and get hooked up with others to build a movement for a better deal in their communities.

Activists will also have a chance to design and participate in their own, user-generated workshops. Register today to submit your idea. This conference is FREE and limited travel scholarships are available.
