The Only Way Forward Through the Muck is to Go Through It - What We Have Going on In Central PA [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-11-22 Hi all: I know many here are disappointed with the results. There is clearly work that needs done and I believe the Democratic Party may have finally begun to realize that they’re not truly a party that is viewed as working for everyday folks like you and myself. Some are tone deaf. Some are willfully ignorant. And some are also performative with no real substance. Simply put, we need to get the inept people and/or bad actors removed from the decision making. And in order to resist we need to focus on organizing, improving things, and doing good honest work with substance, not just optics. I am going to share the email I sent out to folks about some local happenings and folks from outside of the area are welcome to participate. I want to note that with Central PA United (work is predominantly in Centre County in Pennsylvania; however there are chapters of Pennsylvania United in Allegheny, Erie, Beaver, Crawford, and Westmoreland Counties as well), some members are just monthly donors who support the work, as the group has a few members who are outside of the state (most had moved out of the area but still want to support the movement). At any rate, here’s the email I sent. Defenders of Democracy: I know many of us are still working through some things, but sometimes the way to move forward is to go through those things together. Central PA United is having a Post-Election Meeting to cover the concerns folks have about the new administration coming in for the next four years, what needs to be done and how to move forward. This hybrid meeting is this evening at 6:30PM and you can sign up here. If you attend in person, a Taco Bar catered by Carter's Table will be provided! Consider running for office in 2025!: Central PA United will be looking for folks to run for office at the local level! If you're interested in running for office, please contact Chapter Director Jenna Henry! If your values align with Central PA United, then you might be a great fit! If you want to invest in a grassroots organization that does the work, you can become an official member here. Your investment leads to the organization addressing local issues. Check them out at their website, Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter) accounts. Don't forget the rural areas because they matter!: Progress Centre continues to lay the ground work in these areas. To be informed of the work of Progress Centre, subscribe to Progress Centre's email list to get updates here. By clicking here to volunteer, donate (they ask for $15 monthly), or if you give them a follow on Instagram, X (Formerly Twitter), or Facebook, it grows the organization! Remember, the best way to move forward is through! Let's get to work! In Solidarity, Robert L.
