Dear John,
Happy Friday, and welcome to Netroots Nation Day 2!
Yesterday, we heard from progressive AGs on how they are standing united in their commitment to fight for justice and equality. Three Secretaries of State addressed voting rights and election issues leading into November. And our opening night keynote challenged us to think about how we can bring the momentum and urgency of this political moment to the polls in November.

FRIDAY'S KEYNOTE
 Elections are just the first step in building the world we want to see. Winning is important, but even more crucial—and more difficult—is enacting change once we win. How do we build progressive power post-November? What role does the movement play in demanding our elected officials enact the policies they promoted during the campaign?
Join us for our Friday keynote today at 5pm Eastern! You'll hear from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Deb Haaland, Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. Katie Porter, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, The End of White Politics author Zerlina Maxwell and Color of Change Board Chair Heather McGhee.
This keynote happens today at 5pm Eastern on Facebook or on YouYube (English and Spanish captioning provided) via act.tv.
