The October / November Issue Is OUT NOW!
[link removed]
In less than one month, this country will be going to the polls for what can truly be called one of the most crucial elections of our lifetime. The new issue of The Progressive confronts this moment head-on with a critical eye on the crucial issues of the day.

Former associate editor and three-time climate reporting fellow Alexandra Tempus guest edits the latest issue of The Progressive. In this issue, we cover pivotal events shaping the upcoming 2024 election, including immigration, the economy, and the ongoing conflicts and rising tensions in the Middle East.

Plus, cartoonist Mike Konopacki provides a special four-page comic book on the 1924 candidacy of Progressive founder Fighting Bob La Follette.
Cover artist Argata Nowicka is a freelance illustrator and designer based in New York. Her work has been published in the Polish feminist magazine Wysokie Obcasy, The New Yorker, Time magazine, The New York Times, and many other publications.

** Bad Faith
------------------------------------------------------------
The Progressive, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, Community Shares of Wisconsin and the Center for Media and Democracy, and WORT 89.9 FM present Bad Faith.

Details and Tickets ([link removed])
BAD FAITH is a feature-length documentary that explores the dangerous rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States. Part archival chronicle, part exposé, the film reveals the secretive political machinery that has relentlessly sought to weaken and destroy American democracy in order to promote its authoritarian vision.

Our cast includes religious leaders, historians, investigative journalists, state senators, political activists, sociologists, and a former high-ranking member of the Trump administration. They will guide us on a revelatory journey into why our nation is so divided and how it got there. Several have dedicated their lives to challenging Christian Nationalism’s theocratic vision for America and the film chronicles their actions.

The film also reveals the man who created the machinery, PAUL WEYRICH, the theocratic zealot and masterful political strategist who has until now escaped the glare of history’s spotlight.

Weyrich founded the COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY, which officially doesn’t exist. It operates clandestinely, its membership secret and its meetings closed to outsiders. With the CNP providing invisibility and vast amounts of money, Weyrich engineered the merger of conservative Evangelicals with the Republican Party into what became an armed Christian Nationalist movement intent on overthrowing democracy.

By shedding light on the shadowy underworld of political extremism, our film seeks to awaken citizens to its dangers and inspire them to stand up and show up at the polls.

** Vigilantes, Inc.: America’s New Vote Suppression Hitmen
------------------------------------------------------------

The 2024 election is in danger: 8,500 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters have already challenged the rights of 851,000 voters of color. Investigative reporter Greg Palast (Guardian/Rolling Stone) hunts down the MAGA vigilantes, including one dressed like Doc Holliday—with his loaded 6-guns—who blocked the vote of 4,000 Black soldiers, including Major Gamaliel Turner. Palast and Turner confront the vote rustlers in scenes humorous, weird, and dangerous.
