Countering the Right
The Religious Right political movement has had a huge impact on American politics over the past few decades- and continues to play a role in this year’s crucial election.
We’ll take a look at some of the movement’s movers and shakers, its strategies and alliances, the changing conversation about religion and politics, and some strategies for countering the right and mobilizing progressives to advance progressive policies and make sure that we can win sustainable progressive change through the election and beyond.
