ONGOING EVENTS
Postcard Parties
Our community's recovery from Helene demonstrates the importance of community and mutual aid in overcoming any challenges we may face. We see the election as another form of standing up for each other and protecting vulnerable communities. Whether you're picking up a shovel or casting a ballot, we stand with you to push for progress and ensure protection of the most vulnerable.
We have delayed Postcard and Social Hours through the end of the year. Please take care of yourself, your family and your community. ​
​in 2025, we will still have a need for volunteers to create monthly suggestion sheets.
Need a small supply of our themed postcards? We'll try to work that out for you. Postage and pre-stamped plain postcards are available via USPS.com.

PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE RESPONDS TO CHUCK EDWARDS HELENE NEWSLETTER
By Paul Weichselbaum 10/9/2024
​
Thank you for the statement you issued yesterday debunking the lies, distortions, and disinformation that have been widely distributed about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene. Thank you for your ongoing comprehensive listings of developments since the storm and of local, state, private, and federal resources being marshalled in response to Helene. As a constituent who disagrees with you about the analysis of and the appropriate policies to address nearly every issue our nation faces, I appreciate that you and your office ever more clearly understand that you represent everyone in District 11, without regard to differences of income, ethnicity, politics, and beliefs.
I recommend only two considerations that will make your public statements and actions more complete. The first is an explicit recognition that the highest profile purveyors of said lies, distortions, and disinformation are the Republican Party’s presidential and vice presidential candidates. More than anyone, Mr. Trump and Sen. Vance can assist everyone who has been affected by Helene and shall be affected by Hurricane Milton by abandoning all venal rhetoric and by joining with you and like-minded colleagues, the governors and other public officials of our region, and the Biden-Harris administration in the whole of government effort to protect, support, and help in the recovery of our region. The second is an explicit recognition that the climate crisis is not a “hoax” or a minor annoyance, but that the dangers we have faced are ones we will continue to suffer if we refuse to address the consequences of human-caused climate change.

ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE!
​
Narcan Training POSTPONED!
​
We will update the website when we have a revised date. Updates will also be reflected in our monthly newsletters.
"WE KEEP US SAFE" is a chant you will hear at many rallies and protests, but what are some of the specific ways an individual can actually do something? The second of our two-part workshop series will teach you how to properly use Narcan and give you some insight about the overdose epidemic we are living through. These times have taught us you have a high probability to be able to help someone experiencing an overdose. You will leave this training with enough free Narcan to save a life! This training session is designed to empower our community and teach us that WE ARE WHO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.​
​
Narcan Training: POSTPONED! Check back for a future date, we are still planning on hosting this event at The Buzz, 225 S. Grove St. Hendersonville RSVP HERE
