From the Campaign for America's Future website:
The New Populism
No transcript yet, but here's more about the Populism Conference.
The New Populism Conference is an all-day event focused on strategies for educating, energizing and mobilizing around an agenda for economic change that strong majorities of Americans already support, including:
Investing in good jobs to achieve full employment
Ensuring that anyone who works full time should not be in poverty
Breaking up the banks that are too big to fail
Increasing, not cutting, Social Security benefits
Recognizing that America is not broke; the rich and big corporations are not paying their fair share.
Rejecting the Supreme Courts view that corporations are people, and refusing to let big money buy our democracy.
In addition, critical sessions throughout the day sharpen the progressive principles that will unite and galvanize Americas new populist majority.
There is another video at the link, which says about 9 hours long. Includes other speakers.
