Isnt it time we started asking the right question? Welcome to the beginning of the WHATS THE ECONOMY FOR, ANYWAY? Campaign. The WHATS THE ECONOMY FOR, ANYWAY? Conference, October 5-7th, in Washington DC is our kick-off event.
We believe that progressives must venture beyond their specific issue silos and come to a better understanding of the linkages between quality of life, health, social justice, economic security and environmental sustainability, to build alliances which offer policy ideas that can improve our society in multiple ways.
AN ONGOING CAMPAIGN
Your ideas, innovation and support will shape how we further develop and expand this campaign. Our goal is to bring enough attention to this question that it becomes part of the 2008 election dialogue and that the economic policy ideas generated by this conference are taken seriously by all candidates for political office. We are already working to develop university curriculum materials, power point presentations, international country comparisons and other materials that many of you may find useful in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Laura Pacheco (617) 694-7998 and John de Graaf (206) 443-6747
