What are MoveOn Councils?

MoveOn Councils are local teams of committed members who go beyond email to organize hard-hitting events in their community. In the months ahead, MoveOn Councils will work together to push for sweeping legislative action on health care, green jobs, the economic crisis, the Iraq war, and more. We will be a strong, outside voice to keep Congress and the President honest when lobbyists and corporations threaten to stand in the way of progress. This year, MoveOn Councils will:

• Shape the political playing field on the big issues by getting our message out into the local and national media.
• Put direct pressure on Congress to tip some key votes in our favor. We will lobby our elected officials in their hometowns, pressing them to vote for a progressive legislative agenda.
• Organize broader, deeper, and smarter than ever to achieve real progressive change. This will require more MoveOn member-leaders than ever before.

You can sign up to help organize one, or just be a participant - either way, you'll have opportunities to work together with other members in your area.
