Just a reminder that you're invited to attend the MIT
Anti-corruption Symposium, Citizens Rising: A Republic Held Hostage and
the Plan to Take It Back, to be held on Friday, September 19th,
2014, 6-9PM at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Kresge Auditorium.
This symposium is being sponsored by the MIT student
chapter of The High Impact Network (THINK), an organization promoting effective
altruism. The primary goals of the event are to educate the public about the
corrupting influence that money has on our representative democracy, and to
inspire civic engagement by offering examples of, and opportunities for,
participation in meaningful reform efforts.
We seek to answer the all too common question:
“What am I going to do about it?”
The conference’s featured speakers are Harvard
Law Professor Lawrence Lessig and Princeton University Professor Martin
Gilens.
And participating organizations include Common Cause,
Democracy Matters, Represent.Us, Move to Amend, and NH Rebellion. Through
speaker presentations, an interactive Q&A, and collaborative interactions
with different organizations, all seeking the common goal of ending our current
system of legalized political corruption, Citizens Rising will educate, inspire
intelligent dialogue that critically analyzes existing reform proposals, and
provide a platform for expressing innovative solutions.
Collaboration across a spectrum of organizations will
be needed to realize an unstoppable anti-corruption movement. Join us on Friday,
September 19th and let’s make it a reality.
If you would like to interact with the organizers via
social media, please visit our Facebook and
Twitter
accounts.
And please forward this invitation far and wide.
Thanks.
