What
The Technology and Politics Camp is intended as a hands-on day of networking, brainstorming, and planning for organizations working at the intersection of politics and the Internet (or media in general). The idea came out of the Technology and Politics session at BarCampStanford.
The general goal is to create stronger and more coherent coalitions devoted to democratic technology, freedom, social justice, and sustainability.
