<p>Starting with a <a href="http://www.digitalmediaconference.org/2011/node/11" target="_blank">town hall meeting this Friday at MIT</a>, and then a full day of <a href="http://digitalmediaconference.org/2011/taxonomy/term/1" target="_blank">hands-on workshops</a> on Saturday, the Digital Media Conference, themed, “Social Movements and Digital Revolutions,” connects some of the most important organizing work and our latest digital tools. Aimed at movement organizers, activists and progressive techies, this conference is imbued with the spirit of the #Occupy movement but links with ongoing peace, pro-immigrant, worker and democracy organizing.</p>
