This morning on Morning Joe, I noticed Professor Jeffrey Sach's promoting a new organization he has co-founded. It is called Future Now. The website link is below. The program they advocate is clearly progressive. It includes positions for clean energy, investing in children, campaign and political reform, and affordable healthcare. What makes this organization potentially unique is that it appears to take the long game, planning to adopt strategies by 2030 by building from the local level on up. This is a very wise strategy. That is partially how Republicans were able to take over state houses over the last ten years. Progressives and Democrats need to continue to play the long as well as the short game. It is the key to lasting influence and forward progress.
