A burgeoning netroots movement has emerged from what its founder characterized as “ranting on my Facebook page.”

Several weeks ago, filmmaker Annabel Park posted a note on her Facebook profile expressing “frustration … listening to news coverage that made it seem like the Tea Party was representative of America.”

That grew into the liberal Coffee Party movement, a play off the conservative Tea Party movement. The Coffee Party consists of people who believe that government can play an active role in resolving the country’s major issues.

“If you don’t believe that the government has any role (in healthcare), then yeah, you should join the Tea Party,” said Park in a Coffee Party introduction video. “But there are many of us who that believe we have to have the government addressing these things, representing our interests.”

Since February, the Coffee Party has gathered some 120,000 fans on Facebook. And it’s set to bring its virtual community together in public for the first time this Saturday. The group has close to 350 kickoff parties scheduled around the country, with thousands of supporters expected to attend, according to Chris Rigopulos, a Boston-based organizer for the group.
