 \nFor nearly two decades, progressives have been dismayed by the steady 
 rise of the right in U.S. politics. Often lost in the gloom and doom about 
 American politics is a striking and sometimes underanalyzed phenomenon: the 
 resurgence of progressive politics and movements at a local level. 
 Emphasizing “regional equity,” unusual alliances of labor, community 
 and even business groups have been built around issues of community 
 benefits, housing affordability, and access to transit. Drawing on a wealth 
 of case studies as well as their own experience in the field, the authors 
 point out the promise and pitfalls of this new approach and argue that what 
 they term social movement regionalism can offer an important contribution 
 to the revitalization of progressive politics in the United States. \n  \n  
 \nPlease help us celebrate this important publication and \nManuel, Chris, 
 and Martha’s visit to UCSC! \n  \nThis event is free and open to the
