From Ryan Clancy, No Labels:
In the twenty years I’ve been working in politics, something significant has changed.
I no longer trust much of what I read.
I’m no conspiracy theorist, and there are still plenty of good journalists doing good work, but many of the “facts” I am presented with seem designed to push someone’s preferred narrative or agenda.
We’ve heard similar concerns from our No Labels community, which is why we will soon launch a new discussion series called “No Labels Groups.”
Think of No Labels groups as a monthly book club for politics and policy. Here’s how it will work.
1. Each month, No Labels will offer you a discussion guide on a pressing problem facing the country. It could be foreign or domestic, social or economic. Whatever it is, No Labels will provide you with the essential facts you need to know, further reading for those who want to dive deeper, and potential solutions our elected leaders could consider.
2. We’ll invite you to start or join your own No Labels Group, where you can discuss the issue of the month with members who live near you.
3. Finally, No Labels will host an hour-long Zoom Q&A with a subject matter expert, and we’ll invite everyone who has participated in a No Labels Group to join.
So, this is a chance for you to get the facts straight from a trusted source and then apply what you’ve learned to a vibrant Q&A with one of the country’s foremost authorities on an issue. We’ll repeat this process each month.
As we head into 2025, America will confront many problems—from a deteriorating security situation abroad to an insecure border and spiraling debts here at home. We will be working with a bipartisan bicameral coalition in Congress with the courage to lead on these big issues, and they need a well-informed citizen army behind them. That’s where you come in.
As a member of No Labels Groups, you will be able to get and stay up to speed on the issues that are most important to our movement and our country. These groups can make you a more effective advocate and a more engaged citizen. And you’ll have a chance to build relationships with a new network of like-minded No Labels members who share your passion for bringing power back to the middle in America.
Watch for our first No Labels Groups discussion guide later this month. In the meantime, if you are interested in joining No Labels Groups, RSVP here, and we’ll ensure you get our discussion guides and invites to our meetings. |
