Drinking Liberally reaches 200 chapters

One of the progressive movement's most innovative social organizations has reached a huge milestone:

With the arrival of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, the Drinking Liberally map has hit 200 chapters. And with your help, we're ready to go so much further.

While beer companies should rejoice that more Americans are promoting democracy one pint at a time, it's the progressive movement that has cause to celebrate: with every new social club, we're building a community that energizes and expands Liberal America.

Drinking Liberally has never been about the "drinking" -- it's about creating a welcoming environment in which newcomers can engage, activists can connect, and everyone can make progressive politics part of their every day lives. And that's taken different shapes around the country.

The founders of Drinking Liberally are taking the next step and putting together a "Living Liberally" Launch Party, this Saturday, April 21st, in New York City, where it all began. While that event is several thousand miles away, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho have quite a few chapters between them meeting regularly. If you haven't been to Drinking Liberally yet, drop by and find out what you're missing.
