Everyone is welcome to join us at 6:00 p.m. for dinner and socializing. (Order whatever you like off of the menu, and then each person pays for what they order.) The meeting itself starts at 7:00 p.m.

At this meeting we will be hearing from candidates for Illinois' 4th congressional district, including:

  • Ald. Manny Flores (invited)
  • Comm. Roberto Maldonado (confirmed)
  • Ald. Ricardo Munoz (confirmed)

    Congressman Luis Gutierrez has announced he is retiring, making this an open seat. Open congressional seats, especailly in a solidly Democratic district like this one, are a very rare thing, so by gettingt involved in this race we can make sure that this one goes to a truly progressive candidate.

    There are multiple canididates in the race, so it should be an exciting evening! We will also be discussing our last month's speaker, Congressional candidate Mark Pera, who will be challenging Bill Lipinski in the 3rd Congressional District in the February Democratic Primary.

    This will be a joint meeting with the Chicago Metro chapter of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA).

    The mission of our group is to take our country back by electing socially progressive, fiscally responsible candidates to all levels of government. We need you to help make this happen! There are ways for everyone and anyone to help, so come to a meeting and find out more.

    "We are building a political movement, not one that wields the power of lobbyists and corporate interests, but the power of millions of people who seek change." - Gov. Howard Dean
