Progress NC 2006: Forging a United Agenda for We the People

The Friday Center for Continuing Education – UNC-Chapel Hill
October 19, 2006 – 11:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Progress NC 2006 will examine how state-level budget decisions, environmental regulation, minority-participation barriers, and campaign-financing rules can undermine the progressive agenda, and how we can overcome these challenges together.

Speakers will include Dr. Robert M. Franklin of Emory University, Patrick Bresette of Demos's Public Works, Bob Hall of Democracy NC, Marisol Jimenez McGee of El Pueblo, Hope Taylor-Guevara of Clean Water for NC, and Elaine Mejia of the NC Budget & Tax Center.

Conference fee is $50, which includes lunch and refreshments throughout the afternoon.

The conference is followed by the Justice Center’s 8th Annual Defenders of Justice Awards Ceremony, which honors individuals and organizations working to secure opportunity and prosperity for all people in North Carolina.

Call (919) 856-2570 for more information.

Thanks, Diane

I know many of our readers will be digging in on campaign field work that weekend, but NC Justice has a great following and I'm sure the conference will be a big hit!

I appreciate your coming by BlueNC.
