TheLeague.com: Not Your Old Man’s Political Site

My buddy Sam Dorman over at The League of Young Voters just announced the launch of their newly branded site, TheLeague.com. And I’m impressed.

My buddy Sam Dorman over at The League of Young Voters just announced the launch of their newly branded site,"TheLeague.com". And I’m impressed.

This is NOT your old man’s political website. It’s packed with fresh video content, meaningful ways for young people to get engaged, and my favorite little widget — a “League Radio” audio stream via TuneFeed. I get to listen to what the coolmakers at the League think are today’s hottest tracks. Totally fun. It will keep me coming back.

The League is going through some big transitions, including an ED search to replace founder / visionary Billy Wimsatt. Big shoes to fill. Plus they took a financial hit recently when a big funder suddenly got excited about a different shiny new toy. I’ve done some community fundraising on their behalf, and I’m still urging anyone who cares about progressive politics and young people to open their wallets for The League.

But, in the face of all that adversity, this new website is proof that the League family is still producing absolutely excellent work. It will undoubtedly increase their appeal to their target audience, and firmly brands them as a leading political desination for young people. As an ally and supporter, I feel my chest puffing out proudly.

Big ups to Sam and the rest of his crew!
