Tuesday, May 12: Join Simon in SF for a Very Special Presentation - Progressive Politics of the Millennial Generation

Please join Simon this coming Tuesday evening, May 12, in San Francisco for a very special NDN presentation on one of the most important developments in American politics -- the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, the largest and most progressive generation ever in American history.

NDN is proud to host Morley Winograd and Mike Hais, authors of the critically acclaimed, best-selling book, Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube & the Future of American Politics. In their prophetic book, Morley and Mike predicted that two powerful forces of generational and technological change would combine in 2008 to completely transform American politics. Those who best understood this wave of change rode it to victory, while those who stubbornly clung to the politics of the past were drowned by a rising tide of voters' demand for change.

The event is free and open to the public. It will take place on Tuesday, May 12th at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco at 5 Embarcadero Center in room Seacliff B from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.  To RSVP please click here.  You will be able to purchase signed copies of Millennial Makeover at the event, however if you cannot attend, we encourage you to purchase the new paperback version here.  Please feel free to share this invitation with your lists and communities, online or off.

New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic Michiko Kakutani named their book as one of her 10 favorites in 2008, and the book has just been released in paperback edition with a brand new chapter that looks back at the impact this generation had on the 2008 election of President Obama.

Morley and Mike will showcase their very compelling presentation about generational politics in American history and how this emerging generation may very well be the basis of a new and long-lasting 21st century Democratic majority. (With close to 94 million Millennials eligible to vote by 2020, the GOP risks decades in the minority if it fails to connect with this demographic).

Their new presentation has been updated to include the election of President Obama, the first 100 days of his Presidency and civic-minded Millennials commitment to national service. You won't want to miss it.

NDN has been lucky to host Mike and Morley more than once over the years and recently brought them on as our newest fellows.  You may be interested in watching the kick-off event of the launch of the paperback book tour here.  And to read up on Mike and Morley's thinking, check out their blog posts for NDN here.
