Moveon, SEIU, Steelworkers Join PLAN in Seattle

The Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) got a big boost today, as Moveon.org, SEIU, the Steelworkers and others announced their intent to co-sponsor PLAN's kickoff event in Seattle on August 16th. Additionally, Moveon.org founder Wes Boyd, among others, has agreed to serve on PLAN's governing board. This shows that all different parts of the progressive community are coming together to support this effort because they know that progressives can make a real impact in the states.

Check out the full press release here. For details on PLAN and its kickoff event featuring former Sen. John Edwards and Gov. Brian Schweitzer, see PLAN's event website at www.progressivestates.org.
