Heartland Revolution
"Heartland Revolution is a committed group of experienced activists from across America here to get real about the political war being waged at the expense of the middle-class. Where there are state and local parties in need, we will help them. Where issues are being debated, we will utilize our resources to spread the truth. Where candidates are bogged down by radical Republicans, we will rally the troops behind our Progressive Democrats. We are dedicated to shutting down right wing political cash machines that taint our process with the politics of fear, and we will do everything in our power to help keep the promise of change for America."

A Wisconsin Wind Blows In | New Haven Independent
A Wisconsin Wind Blows In | New Haven Independent

"There were teachers, laborers, steelworkers, Teamsters, Yale union workers and city workers. Walking alongside them were parents, kids and students; old-school activists and youngsters making first forays into protest. The sea of faces was diverse, in terms of race, ethnicity, age and class.
“I grew up in a family that remembers when,” said Cohen, 66, who lives on George Street. She’s descended from garment workers and others who fought for better working conditions, and struck when they didn’t get them.
Cohen said those gains are threatened now, in places like Wisconsin, Michigan—and New Haven, where employers from Yale to City Hall have been eliminating hundreds of jobs amid the recession. That makes her sad.
“I came just because I’m appalled at what’s going on in this country,” she said."
