July 24 livestream: Learning From Progressive Victories

States are restricting Super PACs, banning slavery and the death penalty, and imposing taxes on the mega-wealthy. How are people winning state-level victories, and how can your state do the same? Let’s ask those involved. Featured speakers:

  • Dennis Febo is the National Lead Organizer for the Abolish Slavery National Network, a coalition working to remove the exception clause of the 13th Amendment and end legalized slavery in the United States.
  • Rob Poggenklass is Executive Director of Justice Forward Virginia, a public-defender led nonprofit that promotes criminal justice reform through smart, contemporary, evidence-informed policy advocacy.
  • Anna Kellar is the Executive Director of Democracy Maine, a hybrid organization that brings together the League of Women Voters of Maine, Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, and Maine Students Vote.
  • Phineas Baxandall is the Policy Director at the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center.
