Southern California Grassroots Alliance

SoCal Grassroots is an excellent coalition from what I can tell:

SoCal Grassroots is an independent volunteer organization � committed to helping to move our society towards true equality, justice, and democratic ideals. We are dedicated to advancing an agenda rooted in hope and the real grassroots values of opportunity, integrity, community action and giving volunteers ways to get involved. Our actions include supporting grassroots volunteers who serve as mobile strike teams and phone callers who are going into Republican congressional districts to turn them blue.

I admit being suspicious when the Green Party is involved, but truth is that unlike Nader himself, the Greens have been more strategic overall than they were in 2000. In fact I have worked with and endorsed Green candidates in my local area in Brooklyn.

SoCal Grassroots brings together progressive and liberal activists from the Democratic and Green Parties as well as independents to elect progressive candidates and work on progressive causes.

Among the causes they are working on are the following:

* California Clean Money Campaign
* CDP Progressive Caucus Position Paper On Iraq
* Full Election Protection
* Equality for All
* Green Jobs Now
