Anyone else attending a progressive "Teach-In To Save The Economy" July 18 or 19? [View all]
I just signed up for this one. Mainly because I've been in Ohio for over a year now & haven't been able to connect with any fellow progressives. This should be interesting, and hopefully meaningful~

We've teamed up with MoveOn.org Civic Action, Ohio Voice, The Ohio Voter Rights Coalition and Common Cause Ohio to host a Teach-In to Save the Economy on Saturday, July 18th at 3 PM in Columbus.
Over the past few months, MoveOn and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich have released a series of
"Big Picture" videos featuring commonsense, game-changing ideas to save our economy.
They cover a wide range of issues, from making polluters pay for poisoning our air and water to ending mass incarceration to busting up the big banks to enacting a host of educational reforms.
Millions of people have viewed them, and they've been shared tens of thousands of times, but that's not enough! We need to extend the reach of these videos and make sure folks across the nation have access to their big, economy-saving ideas.
That's why, on July 18 and 19, MoveOn members around the country will gather in homes, libraries, and community centers to host Teach-ins to Save the Economy.These teach-ins will be a great way to connect with local friends and neighbors.
...Get ready for Saturday's teach in. Watch this short video where Robert Reich lays out the threat that organized money poses to our democracy, and how organized people can fix it.
We hope you'll join us next Saturday!
This is that 'start at the local level' thing in action. I'm so excited, and grateful for these organizations!
Anyone else doing this in your local area??
