The San Diego Chapter of the Network of Spiritual Progressives
is part of a national movement which was first envisioned in 2005
by the national chair of the TIKKUN Community, Rabbi Michael
Lerner, as an alternative to the religious "Right" and a new
direction for the progressive "Left."
Co-founders include Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister and
Cornel West.
It is an interfaith network of spiritually alive people looking to change the Bottom Line in America.
In our nation today, the religious "Right" and the progressive "Left"
have very different visions for our country and its future.
A major obstacle now facing spiritual progressives on the "Left" is the fact that the "Right" has gained almost complete control of the election systems doing business nationwide. Americans increasingly face uncertainty about their ability to cast a ballot in public elections. A growing number of Americans are being denied the right to vote through new state voter ID laws and many are for the first time being denied the right to vote because their names are no longer on local voter registration lists.
For those who are allowed the chance to cast a ballot, they are no longer certain that their vote will be counted accurately, or even counted at all by the private partisan election systems secretly counting our votes and issuing election results that, in many parts of the country, cannot be verified or audited.
The following are some of the major concerns of spiritual progressives in San Diego and nationwide as we work to bring about a New Bottom Line in America.
In addition to Quarterly Chapter meetings, many members meet monthly in smaller
SPIRIT GROUPS.
