A Welcome to Wednesdays on a Friday
February 3rd, 2007 by Progressive Wednesday
Welcome to Progressive Wednesday, and a hearty and happy Groundhog’s Day to you. Phil didn’t see his shadow, which has only happend 13 times in the 111 years of
But enough about woodchucks, we’re here to talk turkey about the launch of the first website by Model City Media, founded by Eric Ruest and Matt Zambito. Progressive Wednesday, with your help, will be an interactive community of progressive folks looking to make change through ideas, art, and action. Why? Because we believe the end of big problems starts with small solutions, and we believe in a gradual and continuous progressive shift in this country. We think we’re not alone.
Every Wednesday, we’ll provide a brief explanation of a problem in our culture—say Wal-Mart, the lack of true support for Iraq War vets, the destruction of the coral reefs. These problems are so large they tend to overwhelm folks. So, we’ll offer up five simple actions (a to-do list of sorts) you can take that day to help make progress. Our belief is that progressive actions are contagious, and once people get active in small ways, their activism grows.
But our content isn’t limited to Wednesdays. We’re also going to toss the following your way: podcasts; reviews of progressive books, magazines, movies; daily entries on progressive topics as well as commentary on news items, both demonstrating progress made and places where we might want more progress; daily photographs of “our beautiful world”; an art gallery; “How-to” tools; conversations with significant progressives; photo essays; original video; and guest columns.
We’re pumped, stoked, revved and generally jazzed about this project, so thanks for stopping by. Please do tool around. We’re looking forward to making sweet, sweet progress with you.
