Hey Votereporters,

As your premier de-spammer, I'm taking the liberty to spam you about OneWebDay.  It's like Earth Day for the Internet every 9/22.  THis year's theme is Access for All.

Since many on this list are NYC based, I've included NYC events below.  Hope to see you there, or that you can attend events in your town.

Best,
Matt

New York, NY - In addition to the annual OneWebDay celebration of
the Internet in all its diversity, which will again be held in
Washington Sq. Park on Sep 22, New York netizens will be active
in the coming weekend participating in two pre-OneWebDay events,
a symposium and a party on Saturday Sep 19.

The NYC OneWebDay Celebration in Washington Sq. will this year be
held in the newly renovated Holley Plaza, just east of the
fountain from 12 noon to 2pm on Sep 22 - OneWebDay. Our guest of
honor will be New York City Council member Gale A. Brewer. Also
speaking will be Iranian activist Medhi Saharkhiz, who will
reflect on the situation in Iran and the role the internet has
played in allowing voices to be heard in the aftermath of the
recent elections. The New York Public Interest Research Group
will be using the occasion to officially release a report that
forcefully calls for an assertive national broadband policy. Phil
Ashlock, of Open Planning Project will speak on the open government
effort in NYC: people working with technology and civic institutions to
help make the functions of the city more transparent and participatory.
