About this Talk
On the first day of our livestream, we’ll debate the challenges and opportunities facing the progressive movement as it navigates the complexities of the 2024 election.
We’ll explore the ongoing tension between working within the Democratic establishment and pushing for more radical change.
What role should progressives play in this election cycle?
Should we align with the Democratic Party to confront the dangers of neofascism, or is it time to demand more from a system that often falls short of our ideals?
This conversation will examine the gains and setbacks of the past four years, focusing on what has been achieved and what still needs to be fought for.
Throughout the day, we’ll address critical issues such as voting rights, electoral integrity, and the mobilization of marginalized communities. The discussions will also consider the strategic choices progressives must make in the face of an ever-persistent establishment.
We’ll explore the importance of grassroots activism, the power of coalition-building, and the need for a bold vision that can inspire real change. Attendees can expect thought-provoking conversations that challenge the status quo and inspire action for a more just and equitable future.
