Nevada Does the Happy Dance!
July 16, 2009 – 7:09 pm
Nevada leaders from a diverse array of partner organizations, including the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, TRENDz, Nevada Immigrant Coalition and PLAN, comprised an enthusiastic delegation to the Pushback Convening. Together, we are excited to report on the concrete nuts-and-bolts that occurred for our movement in the Silver State as a result of Pushbackâs historic event in Nevada. Thanks to the workshops and conversations with our peers from across the country, the Nevada State Alliance is moving forward on creating a 501C4 and deepening our work in the census and redistricting process!

“We’re Not Alone!”: The Massachusetts Report Back from the National Convening
July 16, 2009 – 6:59 pm
As one of the newest Pushback State Alliances, members were eager to find out more about the national network and to build relationships with similar grassroots organizations across the country at the national convening. For many of us, it was the first time experiencing and understanding the Pushback Network. We set goals and talked about expectations before the trip to Vegas and affirmed that we wanted to strengthen our own alliance, learn new approaches to organizing, connect and collaborate with other organizations, build relationships, and to share the work we do at a national level. After a long streak of rain and very gloomy days in MA, I think we were all hoping to get re-energized, feel inspired and looked forward to the sunny weather as well!
We arrived in Las Vegas, 18 members strong representing 4 organizations and were quickly struck by the lights, activity on the strip, and of course, the warm weather. By the time we got the hotel, we had already begun to deepen existing relationships and build new relationships within the alliance.
The conference began with a wave of excitement and anticipation. Read More
Pushing Back, Moving Forward: PBN 2009 National Convening Slideshow
July 13, 2009 – 12:38 pm
Pushback Network wants all y’all to sit back, relax, and watch this slideshow of photos related to Pushing Back, Moving Forward: PBN’s 2009 National Convening.
The photos do a wonderful job at capturing this powerful experience! They also serve as a reminder as to why we did this in the first place: to build relationships with organizations and individuals from across the country and hold discussions on how to build a national movement that stems from local and state work. Looking at these pictures is a visual representation of our power and potential as a network.
Be on the lookout for more report backs from the states as well as staff in the upcoming week!
