Event registration for Progressive Massachusetts Kick-Off

Our inaugural event is coming up in a little over a week (Oct.2, Sunday). We're getting the word out the grassroots way, word-of-mouth, person-to-person, and using new/social media to broaden our reach. Read about Progressive Mass. and what other liberal bloggers at Blue Mass Group are saying. Here's a snippet:

I’ve heard stories about the amazing grassroots network that Governor Patrick created for his 2006 election. I was a small part of the huge grassroots network that helped propel President Obama to the White House. Two strong grassroots networks that came together and worked productively for elections that then were allowed to lay dormant after their candidates won. I know I’m not the only one to notice this. John Kleschinsky wrote an excellent “Open Letter to the Democratic party” about just this shortly after the election last November.

Given the breadth and depth of progressive political actors and organizers in our state, this doesn’t have to happen. We have many strong grassroots organizations and activists across Massachusetts, and there is so much we need to do between elections. By joining together to stay engaged, we can ensure that Massachusetts becomes the national leader we should be in enacting progressive policies.

We're also now on Facebook and Twitter, where we will be posting updates/information about the meeting on Oct. 2.

There are around 30 Mass. progressive tweeters who are so far signed up for the kick-off; you can see the growing list here. If you are a tweeter and aren't on the list, send a tweet to @ProgressiveMass! And don't forget to tweet the word... We're using the hashtag #ProgMA in addition to the broader #MApoli and #p2 tags.
