JARED DUVAL at Town Hall Seattle

11/23/2010 7:30 pm

Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE and DEMOS. Demos Fellow Jared Duval discusses the influence of open source technology on social activism this evening. His book, Next Generation Democracy: What the Open Source Revolution Means for Power, Politics, and Change (Bloomsbury), tells the stories of organizations such as SeeChickFix and America Speaks, and documents the work of engaged citizens working both inside and outside of government to find effective and democratic ways to address complex problems. "God knows previous generations have left those that are coming of age a world of trouble. Happily, they're figuring out a world of ways to set them right. Jared Duval's book offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the next wave of activism, organizing, inspiration, and change. It will give you cause to hope—and cause to go to work." - Bill McKibben. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006).
