I attended a meeting of Progressive, former Bernie Sanders supporters in KC today.

The group is called KC 4 Bernie - #Our Revolution. We heard from progressive candidates and representatives of organizations like the Sierra Club.

The focus is on supporting progressive candidates at the local level, and on encouraging people with progressive ideals to run for office,

We're keeping the progressive agenda going, and taking back the party from the ground up, no matter what the 'centrists' say.

I think OR has a startup guide that walks you through how to get one going... if you know of anyone who might be up for it.
