If we want to see a more equal, socially just, environmentally friendly and free society then we can’t just hope for it – we have to fight for it. And we have to do that by having a vision and spreading it. We have to take that vision out to society.

You are the part of a new generation of citizens who can spread those ideas. You are part of the media. You and hundreds, even thousands of bloggers, can collectively impact national politics.

But how? And to do what? Can anything actually be achieved through blogging?

Come and find out…

On Wednesday 25th June 2008, Liberal Conspiracy will host its first ever gathering of liberal-left bloggers.

Speaking
Georgina Henry – executive editor, Guardian Comment (online and newspaper)
Dan Hardie – Spearheaded the ‘Asylum for Iraqi Interpreters’ campaign
Mark Hanson – Labour Home
Tim Ireland – bloggerheads.com: has run a various campaigns on free speech
Jess McCabe – Editor of The F Word

More names will be added soon!

There will also be a panel discussion on women and political blogging. More info will be posted on that once all the panel has been confirmed.

Who is this aimed at?
For bloggers who politically identify themselves as on the left, liberal-left, or just liberal with left-wing leanings. It is not party specific: the event will feature Labour, Libdem, Green and non-party bloggers, writers, activists and interested parties.

What is it for?
To discuss issues relating to political blogging on the left, learn about online activism already taking place, socialise and meet others you’ve been reading on the web. It is about bringing together the liberal-left blogging community.

Do I have to pay?
No, it’s free to attend.

How do I attend?
The event is invite only. But it is only for bloggers, writers and others who self-identify as being politically on the liberal left.
