What will be America's next progressive revolution? After all, since our country's founding, it has been progressive momentum that created a social safety net and ended slavery, that enfranchised voters and protected the environment. Coming out of years of conservative governance, and facing overwhelming economic, international and environmental problems, can we even hope for a next "big change moment" in America?

Join three longtime progressive movement veterans for a roundtable discussion of America's past progressive revolutions, why they happened, and what it will take to get to the next one. From funding the movement to learning what needs to be done online to overcoming the problems that plague cooperative work, this discussion will help progressive activists strategize on how we make the next several years into a time of major progressive change.

This event celebrates the publication of "The Progressive Revolution" by Mike Lux, and continues the discussion laid out in the book. The book will be available for sale at the event, or you can reserve your copy with your admission at a discount ($25 ticket includes admission and a copy of the book.)
