Progressive Strategy Summit 2019 - Building Power for the Rest of Us!
20 19 BUILDING POWER FOR THE REST OF US OCTOBER 24-25 • HYATT REGENCY WASHINGTON ON CAPITOL HILL 400 New Jersey Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20001 OUR TEAM 2 WELCOME TO OUR PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY: Thank you for joining us for our Progressive Strategy Summit 2019 - Building Power for the Rest of Us! We are coming together because we believe that even in the midst of a constitutional crisis, there is nothing more powerful than people power. We know that real change won’t come to Washington unless and until we listen to people fighting in Shakopee, Minnesota for Amazon to accommodate workers observing Ramadan, in Kansas City, Missouri for fair, safe and affordable housing, and in Orlando, Florida for living wages. That’s why this Summit includes grassroots activists from all across our great nation, national advocates and strategists, and representatives from the over 100 member-strong Congressional Progressive Caucus. It’s unique to have a caucus co-chaired by a union member, Congressman Mark Pocan, and a grassroots organizer, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. We’ll hear from people fighting for change on the front lines and people fighting for change in the halls of Congress. We’ll kick off with a town hall cosponsored by She the People and the Progressive Caucus Action Fund in which women of color grassroots leaders will come together with women of color leaders in Congress to discuss the work ahead to achieve racial, gender, economic, health, LGBTQ and climate justice. We’ll give awards to outstanding progressive grassroots champions and lawmakers. And we’ll keep rolling from there into important discussions about saving our democracy, building a powerful labor movement, listening to black voters, what it takes to win, and so much more. -

Donnelly and the Braun Campaign Divide Republican’S General Campaign Vastly Different Than His Primary Victory by BRIAN A
