LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Progressives will meet on Tuesday, Jan. 15.

The meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Round Table Pizza, 821 11th St. in Lakeport.

Lake County Progressives is the official group representing Our Revolution in Lake County.

The group is nonpartisan and welcomes anyone interested in learning how to move America in a better direction – to once again be a nation whose government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. The group explores local solutions as well as national ones.

Among the topics currently being explored is Gayle MacLaughlin's new organization, the California Progressive Alliance. Another is how to bring Ranked Choice Voting to Lake County.

Always, the agenda includes being aware of what elected representatives are doing, and holding them accountable.

Bernie Sanders' greatest gift to the people is… each other. He awakened a new spirit of civic involvement, and inspired many hundreds of people to run for office for the first time in 2018.

Ordinary people, running grassroots campaigns without corporate or Big Donor money. Hundreds of them won, at the city, county, state and federal level.
