BlogPAC was a political action committee founded in 2004 by Markos Moulitsas and Jerome Armstrong focused on progressive bloggers and politics online.[1] In 2006, Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller took over BlogPAC from Moulitsas and Armstrong.[2] Instead of channeling money to electoral campaigns, the mission was refocused "to defend the netroots and improve the quality of online activism".[3] In 2007 BlogPAC organized progressive bloggers in several states, and offered microgrants to progressive bloggers through the 50 State Blog Project run by Laura Packard.[4] Later that year, BlogPAC ran a contest to fund progressive entrepreneurs for infrastructure building.[5] In 2009, BlogPAC funded the website software platform SoapBlox.[6] BlogPAC was active until 2012.[7]
