This book will list all the progressive activist groups in the area that we can find, and how to contact them. Hopefully, all these groups will post their events in our calendar.
We need volunteers to gather all the information we can find on each group, and do a write up that we can store in this on-line book. If you want to volunteer, sign up for this web site, and volunteer. You can volunteer at this event.
Democracy For the Heart of America is committed to connecting progressive communities together and fostering greater cooperation as we all work towards progress for the common good.
Open communication, Cooperation, and Community. These are three fundamental progressive values that bring us all together. Open communication, Cooperation, and Community. These are values that unite us.
Today, the Kansas City progressive community seems to be a community divided. We allow ourselves to be divided by the state line, county lines, rivers, and issues. We allow ourselves to be divided in many ways that, when you step back from it, are artificial and insignificant divisions. Although policy details divide us, our values unite us. We are united in our world views. We are united by the things that really matter. We are joined at our hearts. We call this area the Heart of America, and for good reason. It's more than just a geographic area in the heart of the country. It's also a place where people care about each other, and they feel a mutual responsibility for each other.
There is currently a hole in the Heart of America. We must not allow these artificial divisions to keep us apart. Kansas City needs an organization committed to reaching across these divisions in our progressive community. There's no need to debate who's too liberal or not liberal enough. There's no need to debate who's too secular, too wonkish, or too cosmopolitan. There's a hole in our heart, and it needs to be filled.
DFHA will focus on having fun and making the process of activism a pleasurable thing. We will consider all opinions from our members and represent those opinions with fairness and equality. We will provide opportunities for member voices to be heard. Our whole organization will be run with a nurturant parent world view, a progressive world view. We will emphasize what unites us, and we will negotiate what divides us. We will put the party back into "political party".
