In 2008, 21st Century Democrats launched a nationwide initiative to recognize and engage America’s leading progressive elected officials, labor, corporate and community leaders and others in the business of building a stronger more prosperous and progressive America. Throughout 2008 and beyond we will highlight the achievements of women and men who have demonstrated a strong and passionate commitment to America’s working individuals and families and the progressive values that are the centerpiece of 21st Century Democrats’ mission. The 21st Century Leaders in Action Program exists to provide support and recognition to progressive leaders who implement bold positive progressive policies which help to achieve 21st Century Democrats‘ vision for America. Through the 21st Century Leader in Action Program, we will create a forum and network in which progressive up-and-comers and established alike can collaborate and share ideas and strategies for affecting policy on the local, state and national stages. Those honored and recognized as 21st Century Leaders in Action will play an integral role in 21st Century Democrats annual event series, helping to generate excitement in our work and, importantly, support for the candidates and future leaders we endorse. Through their participation, these tremendous leaders will enable 21st Century Democrats to continue to expand on our strong track record of electing tomorrow’s progressive leaders. It is our intention that through this new initiative 21st Century Democrats will expand its reach beyond core traditional elected official communities into other equally effective and motivated progressive activist online and offline communities.
