On Feb. 28, the Politics Book Club will meet at Lenny’s Pizza and Pasta in the Kingsbridge Shopping Center on South Branch Road from 7-9 p.m. to discuss “Blessed are the Organized: Grassroots Democracy in America” by Jeffrey Stout. This announcement is made to give time to read the book, but you can join the group for dinner, discussion and camaraderie even if you haven’t completed the book. RSVP to HDA Vice President Jim Bergstrom at [email protected].
Alliance members gathered on inauguration night and watched a recast of President Obama’s inaugural address.
”While all were all inspired by his speech as a whole, many were also struck by the very specific way the President identified core priorities — gun control, climate change, immigration reform, gender equality, fiscal responsibility, jobs creation, and the full realization of health care reform,” said Meryl Bisberg. She encouraged people to sign up for Organizing for Action at www.barackobama.com as a way to work for implementing the President’s agenda through local efforts.
She said she looked forward to hearing further details about the President’s agenda during the State of the Union Address on Feb. 12 at 9 p.m.
