Howard Dean Raises a Toast to Living LiberallyWe just couldn't let the week pass without posting this - this past Saturday, Living Liberally celebrated its 2nd annual celebration & fundraiser in New York City. And while we were fortunate enough to be joined in person by some incredible guests such as Congressman Jerry Nadler and State Senator Eric Schneiderman, we had another very special guest via video: Howard Dean.
Howard Dean's video congratulations is part of a very big month for our chapters and our supporters - you can expect more videos like that one in the next few weeks, and here's why:
On the right, you see our tack-map, with one tack for every LL chapter in the nation - 246, to be exact. In fact, there are only four states missing: Hawaii, North Dakota, Oklahoma and West Virginia. As we mentioned here last week (and as Dean alludes to), we've made it our mission this month, Drinking Liberally's 5th anniversary month, to hit the 50-state mark, reaching out to our progressive allies in the Aloha, Peace Garden, Sooner and Mountain States, respectively.
All of which our 2nd annual celebration was meant to kick off, and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank the national partners with whom we couldn't have done any of this: Credo Mobile, Media Matters For America and Young People For, and our event sponsors AlterNet, Brave New Films, the Center for Independent Media, DCTV, MoveOn, Progressive Book Club and the SEIU.
A progressive movement is growing through various groups.
