Making progress in Montgomery County and Maryland.

Thanks to you, the Montgomery County Progressive Alliance is making
progress in Montgomery County and Maryland.

We've been organizing events, supporting candidates, and informing you
about progressive efforts in our area since 2003. We have big plans to
work with our friends and allies in the county and state on healthcare,
the environment, equality, and more! MCPA is playing a role organizing,
supporting, and/or promoting ALL of the events below. NO OTHER
ORGANIZATION is involved and promoting progress on such a wide range of
issues and efforts!

Help keep us working for you! Please support the MCPA with a generous
donation now. We hope you will give $25, but we appreciate any help you
afford in these tough economic times. You can donate safely and easily

MCPA: The Montgomery County Progressive Alliance is a result-oriented
coalition working on local, state, national and international issues.
MCPA includes more than 1,000 local activists, mainly in and around
Montgomery County Maryland. Four Meetup groups--Progressive Victory,
Democratic Party / MCPA, Montgomery County Progressive Alliance and this
one--get together with like-minded activists working for Progressive
Victories in 2010 and beyond. We meet at least once each month to
discuss and plan events and actions. Of these groups, Progressive
Victory has the most members, and we hope you will join that Meetup to
save time, money, and effort organizing our meetings and actions. See:
http://www.meetup.com/progressive-victory/

MCPA organization began in 2003 when Democracy for America Meetup
members reached out to other Meetup groups and other groups. In 2004,
100s of Montgomery County for Kerry members and local Progressive
Democrats of America members joined the MCPA. MCPA adopted a mission
statement, organized special events, and has held meetings nearly each
month.

To have your organization or events listed here, please contact me.

Thanks for reading down this far, and hope to see you at the meeting and
future events,

Mike Hersh, Meetup Organizer Chairperson, MCPA and DFMC Maryland State
Coordinator, PDA Steering Committee, PWG
