This is a free virtual summit for anyone interested in advancing their
organizing and fueling progressive wins across the country! [ [link removed] ]Join us on
Oct 1-3, 2021 starting at noon ET on Friday.

The Progressive Power Summit is an opportunity to join progressives and
level up your organizing skills to help create a better future. Here are
just a few of the movement leaders we will learn from at this week’s
summit: 

* Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II is the president and senior lecturer at
Repairers of the Breach, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival, and architect of the Moral Mondays
movement. We will hear from Rev. Dr. Barber about the fight to protect
democracy, the historic context of voting rights and
disenfranchisement in America, and how modern disenfranchisement
impacts the makeup of individual state legislatures and Congress. 
* Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis is co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A
National Call for Moral Revival with the Rev. Dr. Barber, which
organized the largest coordinated wave of nonviolent civil
disobedience in 21st-century America and has since emerged as one of
the nation’s leading social movement forces.
* Maurice Mitchell is the national director of the Working Families
Party. Maurice is a nationally recognized social movement strategist,
a visionary leader in the Movement for Black Lives, and a community
organizer for racial, social, and economic justice. We will learn from
Maurice about his reflections on our major wins in 2020 and how MoveOn
members can tip the balance for progressive wins in battleground
states in 2022. 
* The Honorable Tiffany D. Thomas is a member of the Houston City
Council in Texas. She is the first Black woman and person under 40 to
serve in this role, and she will speak with us about the importance of
running for local office and how she won her city council race while
working full-time.
* Morris Pearl and Erica Payne respectively serve as the chair and
president of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of hundreds of
high-net-worth Americans who are committed to making all Americans
better off by building a more prosperous, stable, and inclusive
nation. We will talk with Morris and Erica about how the rich—and the
politicians they try to control—manipulate the U.S tax code to ensure
the rich get richer, and everyone else is left holding the bag.
* Texas State Representative Jasmine Crockett played an integral role in
the push for federal voting rights legislation when she left the state
for Washington, D.C., to block the passage of a GOP-backed voter
suppression bill.

Whether it’s winning elections in 2022 or advocating for progressive
policy change, there is so much work ahead of us. The [ [link removed] ]Progressive Power
Summit is about coming together to learn from one another so that we can
strengthen our movement, build long-lasting relationships, and continue to
fight for a better society, a more inclusive future, and a world marked by
equity, sustainability, justice, and love. 

Ready to build your impact? [ [link removed] ]RSVP for a better future and attend the
free 2021 MoveOn Progressive Power Summit this weekend, October 1-3!

–Chris, Emily, Saskia, Gabi, and the rest of the team
