HOW YOU (!) CAN GET INVOLVED!
You can help your community, yourself, and the future of us all by jumping in to these activities:
- Attend Progressive Action gatherings and connect with progressive friends! Check the Calendar page on this website for details.
- Sign up for the Progressive Action email discussion group, [prog-action].
- Join other online groups—such as TruthOut and Common Dreams—to receive in-depth news the media often isn’t providing.
- Volunteer in the campaigns of the progressive candidates listed here on our website. Roger Reinert, Greg Gilbert, Laura Condon, Mary Cameron, and Nancy Nilsen could use your help with delivering campaign literature, stuffing envelopes, donating money, making phone calls, delivering yard signs and more. Please contact them today!
- Do phone bank for At-Large City Council candidate Roger Reinert, please call Ron at 341-0257. Phone banking is perhaps the most effective way to bring the message of a candidate to the voters!
