Community Forum
Progressives learned a sobering lesson in 2009: even with President Obama and Democratic majorities in Congress, it's incredibly difficult to make change in Washington. Giant corporations and their lobbyists who profit from the status quo have doubled down in the wake of last year's election, and they have massive amounts of money available to fight progressive legislation and leaders. Already, these corporations are getting ready to spend whatever it takes to repeal the health care reform bill in the courts or by taking back the Congress. And recent court decisions have made their job easier and ours harder. What we have is people-power. Our emergency Community Forums will bring our communities together to make sure we have a shared understanding of the problem and discuss how we use progressive people-power to block this corporate power grab and save American democracy before it's too late.
