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.
