Wednesday progressive leaders from across the country came together for the 2nd annual Center for American Progress Policy Conference: #MakingProgress. The day focused on efforts to expand economic opportunity, quell inequality, confront climate change, detail the dynamics of our changing nation and the rising American electorate, and how progressive leadership from Mayors and Governors are impacting positive change from the East Coast to the West. We heard from inspiring leaders like, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Attorney General Kamala Harris, Venture Capitalist Nick Hanauer and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
