PVA Mission
The Progressive Voter Alliance is a clearinghouse and point of contact for advocates of a wide range of progressive issues. We do not endorse specific candidates or causes. For an idea of what issues have been addressed at PVA meetings, see Meeting Recaps above. For current issues, come to the next meeting, always held on the 4th Thursday of the month.
Unified Action this Month
This month's Unified Action is to contact our our city council and urge them to pass a good franchise agreement with El Paso Electric. Check out the June 2009 Unified Action page. We hope you will participate.
The PVA executive committee will determine the next Unified Action at their August 13 meeting. Suggestions for a unified action can be communicated to any member of the Executive Committee.
June Meeting Highlights
Our June meeting touched on a great variety of topics including the federal energy bill, incentives for clean and efficient energy, health care reform, recycling, news from AFSCME, community forums sponsored by the Colonias Development Council, and good news for the Department of Peace. After the meeting we adjourned to the NMSU golf course club house for our annual summer party. We had a great time while the waxing crescent moon rose along with Saturn and Regulus.
PVA takes a break in the month of July and meets again on Thursday, August 27, 2009.
