From closing Guantanamo to lifting the gag rule Bush era policies are coming to an end. But is it a new era of progressive government? And will progressives have a voice in the bigger battles ahead? Katrina vanden Heuvel editor and publisher of The Nation, Mark Green President of Air America Radio and the author of Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President, Andrea Batista Schlesinger Executive Director of the Drum Major Institute, and Ali Abunimah Co-Founder of The Electronic Intifada and the author of One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse discuss Obama’s first week in office and how progressives can influence stickier issues like US policy in the Middle East, the Employee Free Choice Act, and how the bailout money is spent. On January 28, The Nation continues the conversation at The Skirball Center in NY.
