We are facing unprecedented perilous times in this country. However, the massive
public response to the Trump administration’s attacks on the country’s normal politics
offer us an unprecedented opportunity. To take advantage of that, the divided left in
this country needs to focus on our points of agreement, not our differences.

In this forum, we offer some different left perspectives on how we should move to unify
the left and progressive forces in this country in order to Seize The Time!
