  Brookings Event - How Social Networking Can Re-Invigorate American Democracy and Civic Participation

  How Social Networking Can Re-Invigorate American Democracy and Civic
  Participation
  
  Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 10:00 am  12:00 pm
  
  The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW,
  Washington, DC
  
  This event will also be available as a live webcast.
  The 2008 campaign represented a textbook example of digital mobilization and
  impact. Using social networking outreach tools such as Facebook, YouTube,
  and Twitter, a number of Democratic and Republican candidates raised money,
  identified supporters, and built unprecedented virtual electoral coalitions.
  Despite social networkings track record for generating democratic
  engagement, it has proven difficult to sustain political interest and
  activism online over time and move electronic engagement from campaigns to
  governance. Faced with a polarized political environment and arcane debates
  over legislative provisions, many Americans have opted out of the online
  civic participation which was so prolific during the 2008 election cycle.
  
  On June 28, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will convene a
  discussion forum focused on using social networking and digital tools to
  reinvigorate democracy and extend electronic engagement from campaigns and
  grassroots-activism to governance. Participants will discuss strategies for
  voter empowerment, citizen engagement, and governance transformation.
  Questions to be examined will include: What tools does government use to
  engage the American people, and how have these engagement strategies
  evolved? How does social networking improve participation and collaboration
  in governance? What does current research say? What role should industry
  actors such as Facebook and Twitter play in encouraging online civic
  participation?
  
  The event will be webcast live on the Brookings website. After the program,
  panelists will take audience questions. Participants may join the discussion
  on Twitter using the hashtag #CTIcivic.
