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 the issues have been addressed at PVA meetings, check out the Meeting Recaps. For current issues, come to the next meeting, almost always held on the 4th Thursday of the month.
Unified Action
The April unified action is to contact your federal legislators and President Obama and let them know you support the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument proposal. All the information you need to particiipate is here.
The PVA executive committee will determine the next unified action at their May 10 meeting. Suggestions for a unified action can be communicated to Cheryl Frank or any member of the Executive Committee. Past unified actions are indexed here.
April 2012 Meeting
The meeting highlight was a presentation by Nathan Small, giving an overview of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument proposal and the many ways it will benefit us all. (See Unified Action above.)
The 35 people who gave 2-minute talks included 11 candidates, 6 candidate advocates, and 1 candidate spouse. Non-candidates issued invitations to protests, forums, conversations, auditions, storytelling, garden parties, and more.
The full recap is posted here.
The next regular meeting of the PVA will be Thursday, May 24, 2012.
