Join Network For Progress, a “big tent” and “bottom up” social and media-savvy grassroots organization for the Maintream Majority of“Sanity”-loving Americans who comprise the “Yes We Can” Movement, as we continue our “First Thursdays” monthly networking mixer series where DC-area Progressives, Democrats and Hope Mongers can congregate to network and socialize to build our community for 2012 and beyond.
Once again we will be hosting during a “recess” week and located at Lounge 201 since people liked it so much last time but venue suggestions are welcome.
Our July event will serve as a kickoff of the new Network For Progress Career Networking Group (formerly GO-DC Career Networking) as we will meet new OFA-DC Coordinator Kouri Marshall (who might be a good contact for potential 2012 campaign pros) and Courtney Sieloff of JobsThatAreLeft.com has graciously offered to provide us with networking tips and talk job hunting with folks afterward.
We have two new sponsors as Prince George’s County Young Democrats and progressive software maker Salsa Labs who have generously donated some food and drinks to us!
For “early bird” rsvpers and attendees that will mean some nice perks but at the same time we need to invest in building this organization and making our events “affordable yet sustainable” so this time we will ask for a modest contribution at the door for people who sign up later or just show up at the door.
Activists are also welcome to come and share information about local events, campaigns and advocacy efforts.
Now let’s keep up the momentum from last month when we were featured in the Washington Post for our effort to compete with the Conservative “First Fridays” happy hours!
