Like thousands of people we encountered in Denver last week, we felt energized by the events surrounding the Democratic National Convention. The formal proceedings had their share of powerfully moving speeches (and some blue-dog clinkers too). But the most uplifting momentum came from the diversity of the delegates and activists who gathered inside and outside the convention hall.
Inside and outside. That's the spirit that galvanized the gatherings at Progressive Central during the convention week. Participants at this five-day PDA event ran the gamut, including delegates and other activists--and Democrats in Congress ranging from majority leader Steny Hoyer to Progressive Caucus luminaries (and PDA advisory board members) John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Jim McGovern and Lynn Woolsey. Watch this informal interview and this riveting panel on poverty with Rep. McGovern. See Rep. Keith Ellison in another fascinating interview and panel on the Constitution and Accountability.
What's past in Denver is auspicious prologue, but--with the imperative need to defeat the McCain-Palin ticket, and with dozens of key congressional races to win for progressives between now and Nov. 4--the future is up for grabs.
Coming up quickly, on Sept. 20, is the “Million Doors for Peace” campaign, mobilizing to knock on a million doors across the country. PDA is proud to be part of this coalition effort--together, we can roll back the right-wing tide and prepare the ground for big progressive advances next year and beyond.
