The true progressive left needs to help the community (Black, Latino, White, Asian-American, Men, Women, Native American, Immigrant, LGBTQ, Biracial and Bicultural) regain the microphone. <br><br> The workshops should center around how to organize, what are the issues, who are the people and organizations to contact for a progressive and fair Los Angeles. <br><br> The workshop proposals should center around economics and labor. <br><br> Examples but NOT limited to: <br>  <br> Effective letter writing campaign <br>  <br> Being proactive when workers know contract negotiations are coming up <br>  <br> Appropriately engaging the media for consistent and regular coverage <br>  <br> Interpreting labor agreements <br>  <br> Explaining redlining <br>  <br> Why 90% of the time it is a bad idea to take out a mortgage on your paid for house <br>  <br> The planning commission is the gas of real estate <br><br> There are a lot of things very progressive people already know, but have failed to effectively communicate to the public. This workshop will be the first step in changing that. <br><br> Proposal deadline is March 14. <br>  <br> (At original link there is a downloadable proposal that is editable.) <br><br> More information can be gained at a Friday, March 8 meeting at 12 p.m. at Mercado La Paloma 3655 S. Grand Avenue 90007. <br><br> Please RSVP at <a href=\"mailto:brickbatrevue@gmail.com\">brickbatrevue@gmail.com<\/a> by March 6.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"brickbatrevue@gmail.com","link":"http:\/\/www.morningsideparkchronicle.com\/5645\/66930\/a\/dr-king-workshop-on-april-4","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"application\/pdf","summary":"Friday, March 8 meeting at 12 p.m. at Mercado La Paloma 3655 S.
