Want to be a reporter for MM.com? There’s a big Michigan Progressive Summit taking place this Saturday in Lansing that I can’t attend, and I’d like to have someone there, covering it for the site. Here’s the rundown as it was relayed to me by MoveOn:

…It’ll be huge. The 2008 Michigan Policy Summit will bring together folks in the environmental, civil rights, labor, faith based, LGBT, education, reproductive rights, student, disability, health care reform, human service, and blogging communities.

The summit will develop progressive policies for Michigan in the areas of education, the environment, and health care…

This summit was created last year in response to a big corporate summit that takes place in Michigan each year, where policy goals are developed and powerbrokers are wined and dined. Progressives felt like corporations shouldn’t be the only ones collaborating about Michigan policy, and decided to work together.

In addition to developing policy goals, this summit will create new networks of activists and organizations who can work together to advance the summit’s policy goals over the next year. Plus, trainings will take place for individuals and organizations, to make everyone’s advocacy more effective.

Registration is just $30. Meals are included. And you’ll hear from two guest speakers: author Jim Hightower and radio host Amy Goodman. If you have the time, it’s a great way to invest a Saturday…

And, I just received an email from Carl Levin saying that he’d be there too.
