TPW News Roundup – Sanders To View Relief Efforts In Puerto Rico Instead of Women’s Convention Appearance, The GOP’s ‘Horrific’ Tax Vote & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 20, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 20, 2017

Bernie Sanders will not attend the women’s convention, but instead will travel to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose selection as a major speaker at the upcoming Women’s Convention set off a heated debate among feminists, said he won’t attend the event, but will instead visit Puerto Rico, which is still struggling to recover from the extensive damage left by back-to-back hurricanes.

In a statement issued by his office Thursday, Sanders said: “I want to apologize to the organizers of the Women’s Convention for not being able to attend your conference next Friday in Detroit. Given the emergency situation in Puerto Rico, I will be traveling there to visit with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and other officials to determine the best way forward to deal with the devastation the island is experiencing. The U.S. Congress cannot turn its back on the millions of people in Puerto Rico who, four weeks after the hurricane, are still without electricity, food and running water.

The convention, scheduled for Oct. 27-29, is the first major event since last January’s Women’s March, in which millions of women across the country took to the streets to protest the election of President Trump, and vowed to fight policies that they said would hurt women and families, including repealing the Affordable Care Act, cracking down on undocumented immigrants and curbing abortion rights.

When organizers announced last week that Sanders would speak on the opening day of the convention, some women criticized the choice. Some were still angry at Sanders, who they say ran a negative primary campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton in her bid to become the first woman to win a major party presidential nomination. Others simply argued that it was an insult for a man to be the opening speaker at a national gathering of women.

Organizers noted that Sanders was one of only two male speakers at the gathering and that he was not the headliner. That honor went to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), whose unrelenting criticism of the president has made her the most popular figure of the opposition to the Trump administration.

Reggie Thomas’ Campaign For Congress (KY-06)

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 30, 2017 by LieparDestinSeptember 30, 2017

From Reggie For Kentucky

Reggie has lived in Lexington since he was 14 when his mother returned home after the death of his father. He graduated from Bryan Station High School, Dartmouth College, and Harvard Law School.

For Reggie, there was only one place to settle and raise a family – Kentucky. Reggie and his wife, Lynda are the parents of three grown children, who now have successful careers and families of their own. The Thomas family has been active in St. Paul A.M.E. for over 35 years. In 2015, Lynda passed away after a prolonged battle with cancer.

A firm believer in the importance of public education, Reggie serves as an Assistant Professor at Kentucky State University, and previously taught as an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky College of Law. He devotes much of his volunteer time to Fayette County Schools and Bluegrass Community and Technical College.

In 2013, Reggie was elected to the Kentucky State Senate, where he represents the 13th district by advocating for public education, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and raising the minimum wage.
