The Progressive Forum Reopens After Hiatus of Three-and-a-half Years
Letter from Randall Morton: Relaunching!
Greetings All,
I’m excited to be working on our next event! After a three-and-a-half year hiatus, we are relaunching The Progressive Forum. In this dangerous time of a Trump Presidency, I believe we need it more than ever. But more deeply, personally, I’ve missed the engagement, the sharing of real values, and the fire of tribal gatherings.
Letter from Randall Morton: Our closing event
Greetings All,
After nine years of sharing the warm light of a tribal campfire with you, a gathering of kindred spirits with the great minds, we are ending our theatrical events and continuing the mission online. I will miss you.
