The theme of our event is that “Yes YOU Can” grab the torch to help create the next generation of 21st Century Movement-building as our program will focus on educating ourselves on how our party, campaigns and related organizations are moving us forward in the post-Obama era.

This includes evaluating and utilizing progressive and democratic strategies that are both continually more innovative and inclusive with the help of modern tools and the next my.barackobama.com that can help us work together to create a Majority Mandate for progressive and democratic values in 2016 and beyond.

And what better place to discuss a more “Open Politics” than at the Open Gov Hub (video tour), home of many great civic organizations like the National Democratic Institute, which has several big TVs in a presentation room and a great meeting/kitchen areas.

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.

JOIN THE 12/13 EVENT & "READY FOR UNITY" TEAM HERE!

Share on FACEBOOK!

Before you decide WHICH presidential campaign you are “Ready” for you should join the fight to ensure HOW your candidate and their fellow Democrats can better be prepared to win in 2016!

You’re invited to join Network For Progress for a “Ready for UNITY” Democratic Movement-building Task Force!

Starting with a forum at New Organizing Institute’s RootsCamp (Room TBA) on December 13th, Network For Progress will facilitate a "Grassroots" Democratic Autopsy long-term crowd-sourced Unite 4 Progress "50-State Strategy 2.0" campaign to transparently have grassroots voices heard on the direction of the Democratic Party and work together for future electoral success and not just submit ideas to the experts in Washington that they will be too overwhelmed to handle.

Our deadline for a preliminary report will be the Tuesday BEFORE the State of the Union Address (most likely January 20th).

The goal of this work is to broaden the conversation about what works and what doesn’t so we can ALL learn from previous experiences. In general, the Democratic Party is comprised of people working hard and doing many good things BUT we need to embrace and reinvigorate more strategies that can foster 21st Century-style cultural and systemic innovation for public engagement to create a thriving American Majority-inspired DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT for 2016 and beyond.

Why is this so important? When we talk about democratic “movements” these days we may think of the Arab Spring or Burma, or we might think of Progressives or Occupy Wall Street, but the Democratic Party would benefit from leveraging its brand name and start to identify AND conduct itself more clearly as the Party of Democratic principles of inclusiveness, equality, fairness and opportunity that 90% of Americans think are the cornerstone of our founding.

Framing your argument in terms of values has been a popular theme from George Lakoff, author of “Don’t Think of an Elephant,” and Leadership Expert Simon Sinek offers a good glimpse into its importance for “brands” ranging from MLK to Apple with his TED Talk: “Start With Why.”

Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden also once discussed at a TED Talk how there is a difference between winning and succeeding. We know that Democrats can “win” a bunch of elections in 2016 but we also need to recognize that a broader movement-building strategy can position candidates to better SUCCEED for the long-term.

10/5: Ward 1 Meet & Greet for Elissa Silverman

10/5/2014

7:00pm Sunday, October 5th
422 Lamont St NW 20010, Washington, District of Columbia

Please join David Do and Juan C. Barragan for a Ward 1 meet and greet for Elissa Silverman Sunday, October 5th at 7pm at 422 Lamont Street NW -- everyone is welcome!

Elissa has a track record of working to make D.C. Government accountable to all of us, in every neighborhood across the city. Come meet her, hear her story, and ask questions – then help us put her to work on the D.C. Council!

As a budget analyst with the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute, a community advocate, a reporter for The Washington Post, and Washington City Paper’s Loose Lips columnist, Elissa has uncovered what works in District government – and what doesn’t!

You can trust Elissa to focus on what really matters: transforming D.C. into a place of opportunity for all residents by investing in public education, public transportation, and safe and affordable housing in every ward. For Elissa, investing in our city means investing in ourselves.

For any additional information, please contact Juan Camilo Barragán at: jcbarragan@live.com
