I’m an organizer in Elkhart County and one thing I noticed in organizing protests this spring was how many people want to get involved in work that benefits our community but they don’t know where to start. So I’m putting together Progress Fest! I’m inviting speakers, community leaders, nonprofits, coalitions, political candidates, and party leaders with progressive values to come together and show Michiana how to get involved in the good work that they’ve started. I’m also inviting food trucks and hosting family friendly games for people to come and build community with neighbors that share their values.

I'm asking for help with the cost of this venture. I am trying to keep everything as cost free/cost effective as I can but some things require money to make them happen. Donors over $100 will receive a gift of appreciation.
