Zuckerberg Turns to Politics

Facebook-backed advocacy group to push for immigration and education reform

If you're Mark Zuckerberg and you've already created the biggest social network of all time by the time you're 28, what's next? Try politics. Washington is buzzing about a new lobbying organization organized by the Facebook CEO to take on issues, like immigration reform and education, that could help tech companies like Facebook find more talent and remain competitive.

News of the non-profit advocacy group was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Joe Green—Zuckerberg's old Harvard roommate—is heading up the effort, backed by millions from Facebook.
