Hello dear friends,
There are a lot of folks talking about the next steps in a progressive political strategy going forward, beside the usual talk about who to vote for in the upcoming elections. Some folks who regularly inhabit the Evening Blues have put forward the idea that the time is ripe for a general community discussion about a community strategy for advancing the interests of the 99%. Outside of our community, there are lots of people and organizations thinking along the same lines.
Good morning, my dear friends of c99. Please consider posting your stories of personal and local progressive activism and success. I yearn to read them. What are you or folks in your area doing to make things work? It would help make c99 a place where local progressive victories are celebrated. Below I will tell you more about one such conversation I had yesterday with one of my new friends here on c99 below as an example.
