Stand Together - First meeting 2/15/12

The Nation Discussion Group has created a new umbrella coalition, Stand Together, in order to further our common goals and create a progressive platform, with planks from each group, and to present it to Democratic candidates this spring. Representatives from many organizations met at Selby Library in Sarasota on February 15 to speak about their goals. A few photos are below.
