Pushback Network is excited to announce the launch of the next generation web site for PushBackNetwork.org. The site features the same great information about PBN and its state alliance partner groups and organizations, but offers much more information about each partner, and about the work of PBN and its state alliance partners from the local to the national level.
The new site also offers multimedia images, video and more to help tell the story about Pushback Network’s vision of an authentic participatory democracy through which true social justice can be achieved. It’s not just a vision – it’s a commitment to doing the best work, developing and sharing the best tools, and building upon grassroots know-how and experience from the bottom up to achieve lasting progressive wins.
The new web site offers six main areas for users: About Us, Our Network, Our Work, Our Media Center, Join Us and Contact Us. These areas include “PBN News,” an up-to-the-minute blog feature to keep PBN users in touch with the work, and create a forum where everyone can have a voice, and where transparency and accountability are at the forefront of our work.
The site also features links to PBN’s growing online presence at social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Upcoming, Flickr, and to its growing video archives at Blip.tv and YouTube.

Pushback Network is a national collaboration of indigenous, grassroots organizations and networks committed to building bottom-up, state-based alliances that change both the composition and levels of participation of the electorate. PBN emphasizes strategies to empower underrepresented constituencies: people of color, poor and working class communities, and young people.
We seek a democracy that creates opportunities for ordinary people to make real contributions to the political decisions that affect their lives. Through our efforts, we hope to achieve a democracy powered by the diverse skills, talents and cultures of the American people, rather than solely the wealthy and privileged. With our allies, we are creating a democracy where grassroots communities, who have been historically pushed to the political margins, lead toward social change rooted in progressive values.
