Join us for MeetUp this Wednesday night! We've got an exciting agenda set up for you. Click Here for details and let us know you're coming - Link

1. MeetUp Joe-mentum? Who's got the big mo' now?

As you may know, progressive Democrat Ned Lamont is giving Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman a primary election challenge. Progressives in the state (and from around the country) have Lamont running strong in the primary and standing up to the status quo. As a special guest, Aldon Hynes, senior campaign advisor to Mr. Lamont, will be there to talk about why progressives are challenging Senator Lieberman and answer your questions about his campaign and the tactics of challenging an incumbent Democrat.

Also on the agenda are updates and actions on the Living Wage and the School Modernization Campaign. Two of our biggest social justice campaigns will have their final vote before Council on March 7th. See how you can help with just one week left in this fight.

Finally, We'll be talking about the nationwide campaign we have recently launched with Democracy for America called "Change the Course," organizing a grassroots lobbying effort to spark a Congressional debate on the Iraq War.
