Join progressive activists from around the nation to map out strategy to Take Back the American Dream and rebuild America’s struggling middle class. The annual conference (formerly known as the America’s Future Now conference) is set for Oct. 3-5 in Washington, D.C. Click here to register.

With the floodgates of corporate campaign cash flung open and a tea party-dominated conservative movement doing violence to the fundamental pillars of middle-class prosperity, the promise of the American Dream is under threat as never before.

But as the grassroots uprising in Wisconsin, the battles in Ohio and other states and this summer’s actions show there is a growing energy and counterweight to battle this extremist and corporate attack on middle-class jobs and dreams.

At the conference, sponsored by Campaign for America’s Future (CAF) and co-sponsored by Rebuild the Dream, MoveOn.org and Change Nation, activists, local volunteers, students, teachers, unions and community groups will come together to find ways to revitalize the economy, build jobs, change communities and harness the grassroots energy.

• Jobs: Putting American Back to Work;
• Corporations Corrupting Democracy: How Citizens Can Take on Money Power;
