Melanie Campbell, President and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, speaks at the 2015 PA Progressive Summit opening session on Saturday, February 7.
Campbell discussed the importance of progressives coming together in common cause and her long history of mobilizing traditionally disillusioned Americans to become part of the political process. Her “thank yous” and acknowledgements at the beginning of her talk alone demonstrate the strong network of activists with which she works.
Campbell’s own history is one woven in the fabric of Civil Rights struggle, labor organizing, and progressive politics. You can listen to her entire talk here:
