A week or so ago –
Halloween weekend, actually – The New
York Times stepped up its holiday spirit with a very
scary story. The kind you tell while aiming a flashlight
at your face.
Dissent Magazine asked a number of organizing scholars and practitioners, including Wellstone Action's Erik Peterson, to comment on Zelda Bronstein's "Politics Fatal Therapeutic Turn" (and exchange with Marshall Ganz) from the Summer 2011 issue of Dissent.
We hear the same story repeated across the country. The mythic couple sitting around their kitchen table - not able to pay their bills - making the tough choices about what to cut.
Wellstone Action's work is all about helping new waves of progressive leaders-leaders who reflect our values--win elected office and start turning this country back around.
