The folks who make up today’s progressive movement share a set of fundamentally American values: equal opportunity and mutual responsibility, effective government, and hope for a better, more prosperous future for all Americans. At the Summit, we celebrate these shared values and build them into our discussions of strategy, programs, messaging, and policy. Register now for the sixth annual Pennsylvania Progressive Summit, in Harrisburg on February 6-7, 2015. Join hundreds of social justice advocates, labor organizers and grassroots activists for training, networking  -- and the catalyst we all need to make real progress.
