Please join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy community inspired by the "Yes We Can" Movement to engage Progressives, Democrats, Hope Mongers and Change Makers in political and civic participation, for a crowd-sourced Progress Meetup to connect each other with activists, organizations and opportunities to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the DC-metro area.

And there is no better place to host a "general assembly" on 21st Century digital-driven movement-building than the home of General Assembly - the technology, business and design school for entrepreneurs and startup companies.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
TRAP laws are zoning out women’s health centers from Texas to Virginia while abortion restrictions are becoming a legislative poison pill for even a bipartisan bill on human trafficking. What is happening and what can we do about it? This month our featured program will discuss trends in the movement for “Reproductive Rights” and where things are headed in 2016….including how YOU can take action for women’s health and for your communication and leadership skills!

Afterward, we will invite attendees to share their own or recommended events and actions where you can work for PROGRESS.

We will also discuss how we can get “Ready For Unity” by advocating for a more successful Progressive Democratic Movement and invite folks to join Team N4P to develop ongoing and future initiatives.

Watch or Listen to February’s #YESWECAN8 Program:
“Future of our Movement” Media & Young Dem Panels

Please invite friends and colleagues!

Please join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy community inspired by the "Yes We Can" Movement to engage Progressives, Democrats, Hope Mongers and Change Makers in political and civic participation, for a St. Patty’s Day-themed monthly happy hour to network and socialize at the new Gryphon @ Dupont-South!

Even though there is a huge Ready For Hillary event the same night in the interest of re-starting our 1st Thursday events we will use this as a casual opportunity to offer shelter for the huddled masses of Obama supporters in denial that he will be replace, supporters of Warren and alternative candidates, folks who are too apathetic to care about a primary election almost a year away….not to mention Hillary supporters who might not want to donate to a Super PAC.

To help people connect we will introduce a Networking Wall with everyone’s name, favorite candidate and industry of interest.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to show they LOVE America by respecting the Constitution over a foreign leader's campaign trip #bibigohome

It is ironic how people who talk so much about defending the Constitution are willing to compromise on their beliefs when they don't get what they want. By inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress as part of a campaign swing just TWO WEEKS before his next election. This is a key reason the White House has given for not meeting with Netanyahu right now even though the visit was inappropriately planned without informing the President in advance. This is a dereliction of Congress' duty to their country in favor of a lecture intended to undermine promising negotiations to save American blood and treasure from another, even more costly, war in the Middle East.

As this Washington Post op-ed notes, this is a dangerous precedent that would be unthinkable when Democrats controlled Congress. Ironically, Bibi is a right-wing protege of Itzhak Shamir, who Republican George H.W. Bush more vigorously opposed than anything the current administration has done.


The bottom line is the United States is as supportive as Israel as ever before with plenty of military support for tools like their Iron Dome missle defense system. It doesn't mean we need to bow to the dangerous wishes of their leader and even give him a VIP Pass on the red carpet of the U.S. Congress.

Here is a recent list of only 34 Democrats that are currently boycotting the speech tomorrow:

NOT SURE WHY OR HOW TO DO THIS?
Remember to simply let your representatives know where you stand and find out where they stand on the issue. Conservatives often out-lobby Progressives by a ratio of 10-to-1 or more so if we don't take LITERALLY only a minute to have our voice heard then we can't complain.

If they support your position then thank them so they know someone is paying attention to them doing the right thing and it will encourage them to keep doing it!
OR
If they don't support your position then they will know that someone is paying attention to them doing the wrong thing and it will discourage them from doing it again!
