SC Progressive Network Fall Retreat
Oct. 3 – 4
Historic Penn Center, St. Helena Island (near Beaufort) SC

Get away to the Lowcountry to talk politics, build alliances, sharpen organizing skills and recharge your batteries. Find out what’s happening in South Carolina’s progressive community and how you can help grow a grassroots movement for social equality and political power. Come for a day or for the whole weekend.

Guest speakers include acclaimed labor and civil rights activist Bill Fletcher and SC Rep. Joe Neal, who will offer critical analysis and perspective on our state and nation. The most important component of the weekend will be the participants themselves, who will take a hands-on approach to advancing our issues in the coming year.

On Saturday afternoon, participants will break into caucuses to map strategy on the following issues:
• Workers’ Rights
• Waging Peace
• Racial Justice
• Environmental Protection
• LGBTQ Organizing
• SC Death Penalty

The weekend begins at 10am on Oct. 3 and runs through 2pm on Oct. 4. Full package is $100, and includes conference materials, all meals and overnight accommodations. Day-only registration is $10. Car pools available from Columbia, Greenville and Charleston. Call 803-808-3384 if you can offer or need a ride.
