The "Potluck for Progressives" is a group organized
for the purpose of bringing together likeminded
people on a weekly basis to break bread and talk about
crucial issues affecting the community and the world.
At each meeting, people interested in peace, social
justice, labor, and the environment gather to exchange
ideas, talk about successes, plan actions, or just
engage in a friendly discussion with one another.
Bring a dish to share! Enjoy the bounty that others
bring as well! The potluck will start at 6:30 p.m. with
a speaker or film to follow at 7:30 p.m. Please join
us even if you can't bring any food!
On the Agenda:
Progressive Potluck
6:30 - 7:30 P.M.
Bring along your favorite dish of food,
chips, dips, or soft drinks, and spend
an hour mingling with progressive people
from all over Orange County.
Featured Speaker:
7:30 - 8:30 P.M.
Richard Gingery, M.D, a member of "Physicians
for a National Health Program," a non-profit
research and education organization composed
of 17,000 physicians, medical students and
health professionals, will do a "teach-in"
showing how a single-payer "Medicare for
All"-type system is the best public option for
solving the healthcare crisis here in the
United States.
As a life-long supporter of national health
care, Gingery served as the President of "Health
Care for All Colorado" from 2007 until 2009.
During his tenure as President, he helped take
single-payer from a concept to an actual
bill that was introduced in the Colorado state
legislature. Although it didn't pass, support
for it is strong and will most likely be revived
again in future sessions.
Open Forum
8:30 - 9:15 P.M.
Open discussion, announcements,
and other news of interest.
The "Potluck for Progressives" is endorsed by the
Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist
Church in Anaheim and is free and open to the
general public. Although a small donation might
be requested to help pay for facility costs, nobody
will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
