Overcoming Fear and Corporate Power while Building “The Caring Society”
JOIN FOR AT A NATIONAL CONFERENCE
convened by Tikkun Magazine & the Network of Spiritual Progressive — June 11-14 in Washington DC
A Progressive Vision and Strategy for The Obama Years:
Overcoming Fear and Corporate Power while building “The Caring Society”
WE MUST ACT NOW
Tikkun Magazine & The Network of Spiritual Progressives is convening a national conference bringing together both spiritual and secular progressives in a united effort to counteract the fear and division currently gripping our nation. Political rhetoric is not enough to move our country towards a positive future. Liberals and Progressives must offer an alternative vision during this time of crisis. Come help build “The Caring Society” during the Obama years where the values of peace, empathy, generosity, social justice, and ecological sanity provide a compelling challenge to the status quo of complicity, “inside-the-beltway” pragmatism, and corporate sponsored political gridlock.
