This week, in an act of defiance, the Progressive Change Institute built power to fight Trump’s assault on working families.
For an hour, we held "Speed Intros" for new and younger members of Congress to meet top journalists and social media influencers. This included many House Democrats who won Trump districts by campaigning for working people – something Donald Trump only pretends to do.
Then, for two hours, it turned into a big power-mingling event. More reporters, more members of Congress, congressional staff, and top organization leaders all showed up to build relationships with each other for the fights ahead.
When reporters are thinking about who to talk to in Congress, we want them to call the rising stars who know how to defeat Trump on working class issues. And with so many new members of Congress, we want them and their staff to meet each other and key organizational allies.
BOTTOM LINE: WE HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THE FIGHTS AHEAD. Building muscle. Assembling a posse of economic populist fighters. Building teamwork.
