I've never attended any of this groups meetings but I'm very familiar with the organizers, many of whom worked tirelessly on the Arthur Morrell campaign. I recieved this in an email yesterday and it looks pretty exciting!
"This month we have two special projects. Jim Dean, Howard Dean's brother, is coming into town on February 26th as part of the Progressive Workshop we are hosting. We need to break into committees to plan this amazing event. So, at meetup we are going to break into 4 committees- Publicity, Community Group Liaison, Political Liason and Logistical. We have even more good news on this front, DFA promises to try to bring Howard Dean down for this event. We will also have a special guest at our meetup, Chris Daigle. Chris Daigle, one of the best progressives in town, is running for the state house. He has been the head of Equality Louisiana for a number of years. He has spent many years in the state house advocating for AIDS/HIV issues and children's issues. We'll have his campaign staff join us and they will present opportunities to join this historic race. I hope to see everyone tommorrow night. Here are the specifics: When: Wednesday, January 5 at 7:00PM Where: Fair Grinds Coffeehouse 3133 Ponce De Leon St New Orleans LA 70119 504-948-3222"
