SUMMARY:The Founders Saw the Dangers of Great Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dr. Daniel Mandell\, Emeritus Professor of History\, Truman State University.  Author of the “The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America\, 1600-1870.”  Dr. Mandell will examine politics\, theology\, economics\, law and literature to highlight how the founding generation of the United States feared that concentrated wealth would corrupt their republic.  Their belief in the need for a “rough equality” of property was shaped by Roman historians\, radical Protestant writers\, and Enlightenment philosophers\, and supported by the remarkable level of economic parity before the American Revolution.  In the wake of the war\, Americans generally believed that they lived in the most egalitarian country in the world\, but worried that it would be ruined by men using great wealth to gain power.  Although this tradition of economic equality would be marginalized after 1800\, it remained a significant part of American culture. \n\n\n\nReception Following the Lecture.  Free and Open to the Public.

SUMMARY:Peoples State of the Union (LiveStream)
DESCRIPTION:At the State of the Union (SOTU)\, Republicans in Congress are once again bending the knee to Trump and hanging their constituents out to dry. Nobody should participate in Trump’s vanity project\, and that’s why Democratic leaders\, MoveOn members\, and everyday Americans most impacted by Trump’s chaos are coming together for the People’s State of the Union. \n\n\n\nPresident Trump has spent the first year of his administration making lives worse for Americans: slashing health care\, sending masked ICE agents to murder our neighbors\, and passing tax cuts for the Epstein class. We cannot give Trump the attention he wants\, or validate his lies to the American people. We cannot treat this SOTU like business as usual. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nJoin MeidasTouch and MoveOn as we present the People’s State of the Union alongside elected officials\, partners\, allies and directly impacted Americans. \n\n\n\nAdditional Partners:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWin Without WarCenter for Popular DemocracyClimate PowerCommon DefenseEconomic Security Project ActionFamilies Over BillionairesFWD.usFree DCIndivisibleInterfaith AllianceOur RevolutionPeople Power UnitedProtect Our CarePublic CitizenSocial Security WorksVera ActionVoto Latino
