A diverse group of more than 65 progressive bloggers and activists gathered on Saturday, Dec. 11 to pool their ideas for more effective ways to push the politically left agenda in the St. Louis area.<\/p>\n
Coordinated by Adam Shriver, of St. Louis Activist Hub, the all-day meeting at the Regional Arts Center in the Delmar Loop brought together an enthusiastic and engaged who\u2019s-who of area progressive organizations and bloggers: Organizations represented included Missouri Jobs with Justice, West County Democrats, the Sierra Club, Missourians for Honest Elections, Women\u2019s Voices Raised for Social Justice, Planned Parenthood, Amnesty International, NAACP and Missouri Votes Conservation, to name only a few. The progressive blogosphere was another highly visible presence [Show Me Progress, Fired Up! Missouri, Momcrats and more], as were individual activists whose efforts focus on LGBT rights, public education, retired citizens, jobs, the arts, environmental justice, media reform and peace.<\/p>\n
At a morning panel discussion of the state of Missouri politics, participants got an inside look at the issues that promise to dominate progressive activism and blogging in 2011: Missouri\u2019s looming budget and revenue shortfall; ultra-conservative Rex Sinquefield\u2019s proposed \u201cmega\u201d sales tax to replace the state income tax; the fight to maintain Missouri\u2019s minimum wage and to beat back an effort to turn Missouri into a \u201cright to work\u201d [for less], anti-union state.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to help make Missourians smarter about the issues,\u201d said Lara Granich, executive director of Missouri Jobs With Justice, when the panel was asked to talk about a role for progressive activists. \u201cWe need to mix on-line organizing with face-to-face activism.\u201d<\/p>\n
