Thanking the Elections Committee for its work and members for their considered input, the General Membership of Progressive Dane approved its 2010 County Platform on Wednesday. Covering such issues as Open and Democratic Government, Public Safety and Protection, and Economic Development to name a few, new statements include increasing vigilance on land use and development as well as opposition to the Sheriff's department practice of inquiring about immigration status and providing that information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If you missed the excellent workshops and panels Friday and Saturday, you're in luck! There is one more day of the Future Cities 2009 conference. Registration is at 9 over at the Inn on the Park, check out the exibitors, and then head over to the capital for some of this inspiring agenda http://futurecities2009.org/november-8-2009.
Progressive Dane is on at 10am this Sunday with Brenda Konkel, Jacque Pokorney, Joe Mingle talking about Building Local Coalitions for Change in the 328NW, Wisconsin State Capitol.
So you say you want a (local) revolution? Well, how are you going to get there, without power? While it is true that many of the obstacles we face in moving to greener, more peaceful future involve a lack of information, organization, and initiative, it’s also true that for every local independent business alliance promoting sustainability, there is a Chamber of Commerce organization claiming that global warming doesn’t exist.
Progressive Dane is an independent local political party that has served Madison and Dane County for 16 years. We will present some local examples of how we have worked with residents and groups to promote more progressive policies at the city and county level. Come hear about the projects of United for Funding, Operation Welcome Home, Student Progressive Dane, Immigrant Workers Union, Affordable Housing Action Alliance, and Friends of Union Corners.
