By Nazz Lane A gathering of twenty plus avatars assembled at the Cedar Island SIM on Saturday afternoon, the 6th of June for a Health Care Organizing Kickoff Meeting. The event had been organized by SL resident Siri Vita, who had presided over a similar meeting several months earlier. Ms Vita, is active on many fronts in SL and is known for her work with several nonprofit organizations in Second Life, most notably Peace Train where she is one of several organizers planning for this year’s Peace Festival. The organizing meetings are a component in the strategy of “Organizing for America”, which is part of the Democratic National Committee and was formed after the campaign to support the President Obama’s agenda for change. Prior to the meeting, Ms Vita had sent out invitations that included information on health care reform, frequently asked questions, her presentation and an announcement to attendees that included the following:
“We will be reviewing a new video recorded by President Obama addressing everyone attending these kick-off meetings, this Saturday. These meetings will be taking place all over the US. Our in-world meeting is not only a chance for you to actively participate in your government, but also a way of demonstrating the power of SL to bring us together as a positive force for change.”
