UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been emailing you about a meet & greet with the State Innovation Exchange Executive Director (SiX) and its Executive Director, Nick Rathod, at my place  this Wednesday.  This will be an incredibly important discussion and I hope you all can make it.  The work that they are doing is critical, if we are ever going to rebuild and win back power across the country.   Nick is quoted (and has the quote of the day<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/11/todayspaper/quotation-of-the-day.html>) on the front page of today’s Sunday NY Times<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/11/us/state-republican-leaders-move-swiftly.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=a-lede-package-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1> that highlights the implications of the hole we are in not only in DC but across the country and the urgency of why SiX’s work in the states is more important than ever.  I hope you can join us!  Details below.

Thank you,
Mitch

AS A COMMITED AND PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE NY/NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY I AM INVITING YOU TO MEET, BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH, AND SUPPORT THE

STATE INNOVATION EXCHANGE (SiX)
(www.stateinnovation.org<http://www.stateinnovation.org/>).

DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS OUR COMMUNITY HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO FOCUS ON SUPPORTING AND ELECTING DEMOCRATIC STATE OFFICE HOLDERS
. THAT DECISION IS OBVIOUS AND LONG OVER DUE REGARDING STATE LEGISLATION AND

CONGRESSIONAL/STATE 2020 REDISTRICTING

SiX IS OUR LAST BEST HOPE!

Nick Rathod, the very effective founder and ED of SiX, as well as various elected officials ( to be announced) will join us to discuss Mission and Strategy and how we can effectively and efficiently become active and meaningful members of the  SiX family

                       If you are not able to attend, please send someone to represent you

Last week Trump was sworn in as President, solidifying conservative control of nearly every institution of our government. We now have no choice but to begin the hard work of charting a new path forward for progressives—by investing and rebuilding from the ground up, in the states. I am on the board of a new organization called the State Innovation Exchange (SiX<http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/democratic-donors-states-233884>), which is doing just that.

SiX<https://stateinnovation.org/> is a national resource and strategy center that supports state legislators in advancing and defending progressive policies across the country. Last month, I had the honor of attending their annual conference and was truly impressed. Sen. Warren, Sen. Booker, Leader Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder energized and inspired attendees, including nearly 500 state legislators from around the nation who SiX worked to train and organize around a common agenda to fight back against Trump and a conservative-led Congress. Here is Sen. Booker at the conference, raving about the enthusiasm and promise in the room.<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt3-1QdgIkI>

Please mark your calendar on Feb 16th for an exciting event I am hosting at my home, where you can learn more about SiX and how we can start to take back our country from the State level on up. See below for more details and to RSVP. Thank you and hope to see you next month.
