Description

Do you ever wonder why candidates and elected officials have trouble developing campaigns that inspire progressives? How does this effect their ability to fund raise and to recruit workers for the campaign? How many winnable seats have been lost because of this? The progressive movement has a responsibility for making policy priorities known and for recruiting champions for these positions. If Florida Progressives want our policy positions to be respected by candidates and elected officials, then we need to carefully choose the policy positions we want candidates to take up in the upcoming election.


Agenda 2014 is designed to help us identify the progressive positions we can use as stepping stones to the progressive Florida we want. Grassroots organizers from diverse constituency groups will come together as focus groups to select a federal, state, and local policy positions. These positions must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable,Relevant, and Time Bound (SMART), if we are to use them to win elections and build power through legislative engagement.

The process will begin with a survey to identify SMART policy positions in the form of bills with at least a significant co-sponsorship record. To advance as a topic for consideration during the conference a wiki will be created explaining how to leverage this position to recruit from your constituency for field work, to fund raise, and sample messaging for campaign ads, etc. These positions and wikis will be available to conference participants. At the conference they will organize into focus groups by constituency and will then vote for one of each category. The selected federal, state, and local policy positions will be put into a document called Agenda 2014. The selection process in the morning will then shift to refining the policy position wikis and a training on their use. The conference will serve as a launching point for the recruitment of candidates to these positions.

Join leaders from the Florida progressive community as we come together to make a statement of what will inspire us to fight in 2014.
