DESCRIPTION:Since the election of Barack Obama in 2008, the Democratic Party has lost 
 not only the presidency and congress, but more than 1000 seats in state 
 legislatures. Democrats control both the governorship and the legislature 
 in only six states; the Republicans control 26. How did Democrats manage to 
 become the minority party after eight years of the Obama administration? 
 How can it recover from this debacle?\n\nThe recently issued report, 
 “Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis” 
 https://democraticautopsy.org/ offers a thoughtful, objective analysis of 
 how the crisis developed, and proposes an agenda for recovery. At our 
 January Forum, we will hear from two of its authors  and examine how 
 seriously the party is moving to implement the Autopsy’s 
 recommendations.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nNorman Solomon is the coordinator of the 
 online activist group RootsAction.org. He was a Bernie Sanders delegate to 
 the Democratic National Convention and the national coordinator of the 
 Bernie Delegates Network. His books include “War Made Easy: How 
 Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death.”\n\nKaren Bernal is the 
 Chair of the California Progressive Caucus and an executive board member of 
 the state Democratic Party.  She served as co-chair for the California 
 Bernie Sanders delegates to the Democratic National Convention.  
 \n\nModerator Rose Aguilar is the host of “Your Call,” a live call-in 
 daily radio show on KALW, which was named "Most Valuable Local Radio Show" 
 on  The Nation magazine's 2017 Progressive Honor Roll. Her book, Red 
 Highways: A Liberal’s Journey into the Heartland, is based on a six-month 
 road trip she took across the U.S.\n\nCo-sponsored by Progressive Democrats 
 of America—San Franciscpo; San Francisco for Democracy, San Francisco 
 Berniecrats; the Bernal Heights Democratic Club, and the Harvey Milk LGBT
