Sen. Bernie Sanders will keynote a major gathering of several thousand progressive activists from across the U.S. in Chicago June 9 to 11 under a thematic of moving beyond resistance to building a broad peoples movement for a just world. The Peoples Summit will bring together grassroots activists and leaders of key progressive organizations to chart strategies and build unity in calling for promoting a progressive vision that moves beyond resistance and protests.
Actors and musicians will perform The People Speak, Saturday evening, June 10 at the Arie Crown Theater in McCormick Place at 8:30 p.m. following the keynote speech by Sen. Sanders.
The People Speak is intended to bring to life the extraordinary history of ordinary people who built the movements that made the United States what it is today, ending slavery and Jim Crow, protesting war and the genocide of Native Americans, creating unions and the eight hour work day, advancing womens rights and gay liberation, and struggling to right wrongs of the day. The People Speak will feature performances celebrating the often neglected history of the United States. It will give voice to leaders, activists, rebels, dissenters and visionaries from both the past and present.
It is being produced by National Nurses United in association with Voices of a Peoples History of the United States and is directed by author, editor and producer Anthony Arnove.

CALL FOR THE PEOPLES SUMMIT: BUILDING THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION
At a time of tremendous turmoil and progressive opportunity, we invite you to participate in a historic convening of organizations and individuals committed to social, racial and economic justice.
On June 9-11 2017, in Chicago, we seek to bring together activists committed to a different kind of agenda: a Peoples Agenda that can enhance and expand issue campaigns and hold all elected officials accountable to popular demands for justice, equality and freedom. We envision this Summit as further deepening the relationship between participating organizations rooted in principled anti-corporate politics, development of community leaders, direct action not based on partisan identification, and strategic organizing to build power.
The Summit itself will include plenary and workshop sessions devoted to key issues such as the Fight for 15, mass incarceration and criminal justice reform, voting rights and expanding democratic participation, a tax on Wall Street speculation to fund human needs and jobs, climate justice toward a sustainable economy, improved Medicare for All, the fight for free and debt-free higher education, secure retirement through expanding social security, ending HIV/AIDS, achieving Constitutional pay equity for women, and ending deportations and support for DREAMers, among others.
We will take action in Chicago against the big money system of politics that expands the power of the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the people. We will also celebrate with music and a festival of joyous rebellion. We hope to see you in Chicago, June 9-11, at McCormick Place.
