I'll be speaking on "Libertarian Decentralism and Secession Strategies" this Saturday 10AM EST at an online libertarian conference with 70 plus of speakers, many with green, sustainability, or self-sufficiency viewpoints. Go here for my channel and here for speakers list.
I'll be regurgitating some of the material I've blogged here, which has been an expansion of my woefully out of date Secession.Net website. Agora I/O is (hopefully) easy to use: just go to the schedule page. Pick talks you want to view and watch them. If you have a Facebook account you can participate through a chat.
Check out a couple of speakers during the three day conference (March 25-27) conference as an experiment in online education that you could apply to your own local Vermont activism. It's a first for the organizers - and perhaps a bit overly ambitious - so there may be some flubs. But practice makes perfect! Techies will find several good talks on organizing online.
Talks Vermonters might find of special interest include:
