Dear Progressives:

We welcome current members, guests, students and especially inidividuals seeking more information on the Progressive movement in Indiana to the meeting at 1848 N Meridian at the IBEW Hall, this Saturday from Noon to 5 pm.  View agenda here.  View bylaws here.

We will have an illuminating program that will arm us with great information on the statewide work of the Obama Campaign for Change, the slow and steady erosion of our civil liberties under Bush and Daniels, how Jill Long Thompson will approach cleaning up the Daniels' mess of privatization and property tax reform when she is Governor and the history of labor unions in Indiana and what the outcome of this race will mean to their future.Join us at the IBEW Hall at 1828 N Meridian in Indianapolis this Saturday, September 13 from noon to 5 pm.

What we learned at the annual IDEA convention in French Lick last weekend is that the Obama campaign and the Indiana Democratic party are putting together an amazing state wide boots on the ground campaign.

Never before have I seen a national campaign so well organized and so committed to Indiana and all the Democrats and Progressives running throughout the state.

And the reason the Obama folks mentioned that they decided to put so many resources into Indiana is the level activism they saw at the grassroots level.

I believe what they saw was in no small part the activism, hard work and enthusiasm of all us who are part of Indiana Progressives and all of the progressive organizations we work with such as DFA, Indiana Equality and HCHP.

All due paying members can help select the candidates we as an organization will be endorsing this year. If you would like to submit a candidate for endorsement plese contact us.

A limited number of candidates will not only receive our endorsement, but our PAC will contribute to their campaign. To see the list of candidates we are currently considering for this level please click here.

David Sirota met with Indiana Progressives Monday June 30th in Broad Ripple and then spoke at Big Hat Books on the powerful grassroot movement that he has observed sweeping the country.  This movement is the subject of his new book "The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington".
