The Progressive Voter Alliance is a clearinghouse and point of contact for advocates of a wide range of progressive issues. We do not endorse specific candidates or causes. For an idea of the issues that have been addressed at PVA meetings, check out the Meeting Recaps. For current issues, come to the next meeting, almost always held on the fourth Thursday of the month.

September 27 Meeting

It’s election season! Many candidates and campaign staffers attended the September PVA meeting to ask for support. PVA continues to be the place to be if you want to get to know the candidates. We also heard about other topics, including Border Servant Corp, one-woman shows about name pronunciation, public radio fundraising, free CPR classes, updates from El Paso Electric intervenors, and healthy ways to react to the Judge Kavanaugh hearing. You had to be there, but if you weren’t, all events announced at the meeting are posted in the sidebar calendar and the full recap is posted here.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 25, 2018, 7 p.m., at Munson Center. Map.
