I love Netroots Nation. It's hard to be depressed when you're around so many bright, passionate people who are working so hard to make our country better, and it's always fun to meet people face to face when you only know their online personas.

I love Netroots Nation. It's hard to be depressed when you're around so many bright, passionate people who are working so hard to make our country better, and it's always fun to meet people face to face when you only know their online personas. So I'm happy to tell you about this great opportunity to win a NN scholarship:

Want an opportunity to win a scholarship for Netroots Nation 2012, the country's biggest gathering of progressive activists?

Netroots Nation is teaming up with Rally.org for the first-ever Raise the Future contest, which invites people from around the country to fundraise for progressive causes for the chance to win an all-access pass to Netroots Nation this June in Providence. Ten winners will receive an all-access pass to the conference, hotel accommodations and invitations to VIP events (a $1200 value).

Sign up at rally.org/raisethefuture.

It's easy to participate: just recruit the most donors for one of the six featured causes—or choose one of your own—using the Rally.org fundraising platform. This contest is unique because it's not about how much money you raise, but the number of donors you engage.

The featured causes include Elizabeth Warren for Massachusetts, National Wildlife Federation Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Washington United for Marriage, Truman National Security Project and New Leaders Council.

There's still plenty of time to sign up (and win!). The contest runs through May 15, with finalists announced May 17th.

It takes less than four minutes to get started. Sign up at rally.org/raisethefuture.
