Expanding Our Capacity

The first is about the growth of MoveOn.org and its projects through the years, documenting its multi-issue approach to politics versus other single-issue siloed groups existing at the time. It's called MoveOn: The Movie.

The other is Robert Greenwald's new film- Rethinking Afghanistan- based in part on his recent trip there. Derrick Crowe- whose work is paid in part by Brave New Foundation- is going to be doing a fair amount of reporting here and elsewhere on the state of Afghanistan, so if you find it interesting, you'll like Robert's new film- and you can support Derrick's blogging at the same time.

The part I especially wanted to let you know about is that we here at OpenLeft have partnered with Brave New Foundation to help promote both our work and theirs. For each DVD you purchase, we'll get $5 towards our projects. If you purchase one of each, we get $10. It's a great campaign that helps build the kind of progressive infrastructure we care about, and I hope you do too. We're going to be expanding capacity in some new and exciting ways over the next few weeks- particularly on the Senate whip count Chris is heading up- and it helps us pay for the resources to carry that out. If you want a strong, robust public option in the health care legislation, we're working with you to make it happen.

You can click here to purchase MoveOn: The Movie, and here to purchase Rethinking Afghanistan. The two new buttons in the upper right hand corner are also where you can go. Please help us out. And from all of us, thanks for helping support our continuing work here at OpenLeft.
