As we head toward the November midterm election, the "Tea Party" movement seems to have become the most prominent voice in opposition to the current administration and the media-grabbing antics of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and others, threaten to derail civil discourse. What can progressives do to counteract this aggressive march towards the politics of fear? Join us as the NYSEC Advocacy Forum presents Right Wing Populism and the Progressive Response with Jim Hightower, radio commentator, author and America's #1 Populist; Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Professor of Politics and African American Studies at Princeton University; Juan Gonzalez, Co-Host of Democracy Now! and moderator Ari Melber of The Nation.
Co-Sponsored by NYSEC and The Nation Institue/Nation Books.
