Defeat the Right Forever
,”
a Netroots Nation panel on
labor law reform and
why it matters to the
progressive movement.

Featuring
Stewart Acuff of the AFL-CIO,
Tanya Tarr of Texas AFT,
Jake McIntyre of the Bricklayers (BAC) and
Elana Levin of Workers United.

Learn why labor law reform matters and how the progressive
netroots can take part in the fight for the Employee Free Choice Act.

Can the Netroots help make the Employee Free Choice Act law?
One of initiatives progressives have laid out as a priority for the
Obama administration and this Congress is the Employee Free
Choice Act. But this battle will not just be fought in corridors of
power in Washington—far-reaching PR campaigns are already
underway on both sides.

What role will the Netroots play in passing the Employee Free
Chioce Act in 2009? How can unions and their allies beat back
the fear-mongering coming from the corporate interests, and
what role is there for online activism in that fight?
What messaging tools will be employed by pro-employee choice groups,
and how can the Netroots stand up to the GOP echo-chamber?
