Progressive Central – The People’s Convention
Join John Nichols (Nation Magazine, MSNBC), leading guided conversations and events featuring guests: Congress members John Conyers, Raul Grijalva, Keith Ellison, Jim McGovern, and Alan Grayson, plus Medea Benjamin (Code Pink), Dr. Quentin Young, David Cobb (Move To Amend), Andrea Miller (PDA) and other guest speakers TBA.

We will be in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, September 4th, as we come together at the time of the Democratic National Convention to plan a more progressive future. We hope you can join us at a one-day forum, hosted by our friends at Community Outreach Christian Ministries, a committed community organization–only 3 miles from the convention site.

We will be discussing how we can build the äóìinside/outsideäó movement for Medicare for All, protect Social Security, end U.S. occupation in Afghanistan, stop any war with Iran before it starts, enact a äóìRobin Hood Taxäó on the Wall Street casino, fight back against out-of-control corporate power, roll back Citizens United, and save our atmosphere from global warming. We are gathering for continued, serious organizing to elect and re-elect progressive members to Congress in 2012 and beyond

We the People: Not we the Corporations – End Corporate Rule – Guided Conversation
Organizing the Peace and Justice movement inside and outside the Democratic Party
Building Bridges: Cooperation between Organized Labor and Progressive Democrats
The Fight Ahead: The New Challenges and Opportunities for Progressive Democrats
Open Conversation with the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC)
