5. Here are several other ideas to consider:
- Start a once/twice a month progressive events email in your area. List the event info, contact person, and website. For an example click HERE!
- Work to get more progressive media in your area. Progressive talk radio, "Democracy Now' with Amy Goodman, Thom Hartmann, Current TV, and Free Speech TV should be available everywhere.
- Work to get progressive books, magazines, and newspapers into your local library.
- Start your own petition. Click HERE for more info.
- Give gifts that support your progressive values. Click HERE for idea.
- Keep progressive values and ideas in the news using letters to the editor about single payer Medicare-for-all, reducing military spending to fund our communities, and supporting public education. Click HERE for ideas.
7. Use the website Stand Up 4 Democracy (HERE) for specific ideas to improve and take back our economic, political, educational, and justice systems in America so they provide freedom, opportunity, and security for everyone not just the 1%.
8. Work to unite progressives. When Greens, Justice Party USA, Progressive Independents, and Progressive Democrats agree on 9 of 10 things, we should spend our time working together for progressive policies not obsessing about the one thing on which we disagree.
