Leading Advocates for Liberal Politics Talk at Yale about Reclaiming the Left

NEW HAVEN —Three leading advocates for a progressive political agenda will discuss the future of the Left in American politics in an open forum at Yale on Wednesday, April 20 at the Yale Law School auditorium, 127 Wall Street, at 4 p.m.
 
The panel will be headed by six-term Governor of Vermont, former head of the Democratic National Committee, and one-time presidential hopeful Howard Dean and editor of The Nation magazine and well-known television political pundit Katrina vanden Heuvel. Yale professor Jacob Hacker, author of "Winner-Take-All Politics" and most noted champion of the "public option" in health care reform, will lead the discussion. Rounding out the panel will be Yale junior Daniel Hornung, president of the Yale chapter of Roosevelt Institute, the national undergraduate progressive political organization.
 
No press credentials or prior registration is required, but members of the news media are advised to arrive early for this first-come, first-seated event.
