1. New Liberal Action Summit Updates
Our most ambitious New Liberal Action Summit yet is just 4 weeks away! We’re so excited to welcome New Liberals from across the country and abroad to Washington, DC, from October 20-21 . Amid a shifting political landscape and renewed debates over the future of the Democratic Party, NLAS 2025 is convening the next generation of center-left leaders to chart a winning path forward. Through policy, training, and coalition-building, this year’s summit will focus on rebuilding trust, expanding our appeal, and advancing liberal values in a post-2024 political era.
Our speaker list is growing and we’ll be adding many other special guests to the agenda in coming weeks. We’re excited to welcome fantastic elected officials like Rep. Janelle Bynum, Rep. Scott Peters, Rep. Josh Harder, and former Senator Doug Jones to the stage this year. We are also thrilled to have legends like political scientist Francis Fukuyama, and Poppy Northcutt , the first woman to work in NASA’s Mission Control on the Apollo missions to NLAS for the first time. Check out our full speaker list here: [link removed] [[link removed]]

Radio Abundance by YIMBY Democrats for America | NYC Chooses Between YIMBYism and Feudalism: Tibita Kaneene on Radio Abundance [[link removed]]
Ft. Tibita Kaneene, NYC New Liberals | September 8
“New York City has 3 major pro-housing initiatives on the ballot that NYC New Liberals Political Director Tibita Kaneene thinks might be bigger than City of Yes. As we speak, however, NIMBY elected officials are mobilizing with dirty tricks to protect their own “member deference” vetocracy-of-one, a practice that Congressman Ritchie Torres called “municipal feudalism” on his own episode of Radio Abundance.”
Los Angeles Daily News | It's Time for Los Angeles to get the 'Abundance' memo [[link removed]]
By Thomas Irwin, LA New Liberals | September 9
“California lawmakers should ignore the city’s complaints and prioritize the best interests of Los Angeles residents. And that almost certainly means ignoring the complaints of Los Angeles elected officials and passing SB 79.”
The xxxxxx | Is This Who We Are? [[link removed]]
By Jeremiah Johnson, Co-founder of CNL | September 11
“That Kirk was assassinated at work on this mission is a horrible tragedy. That he leaves behind a wife and two young children is an unspeakable one. But don’t just mourn for them; mourn for yourself. Liberalism is a fragile thing; once lost, who knows if we’ll ever get it back? As Jeremiah Johnson wrote [[link removed]] last year, after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump."
Next City | California's Key Environmental Law Is Blocking its Path to Carbon Neutrality [[link removed]]
By Thomas Irwin, LA New Liberals | September 22
“This is evident in California cities. Despite local governments planning and zoning for denser housing, many modest infill housing projects were still subject to review under CEQA, a process that is both redundant and actively harmful.”

The Rise of Political Violence in America [[link removed]]
Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday, and sadly that kind of political violence is no longer unusual in America. The last few years have seen a blitz of assassination attempts, bombings, shootings and more. Why is political violence rising in America? How should liberals respond? And is there anything we can do to stop it?
