The Progressive International has launched: join now
Just fucking do it; no typical lefty ideological whining, please. It's a co-production of Varoufakis's DiEM2025 and the [Bernie] Sanders Institute.
I know: far too much to ask for; possibly more than getting LINAs and PINAs (liberals/progressives in name only, aka, "Clintonistas") to join in.
I joined, and I threw down fifty bucks.
Here's the linkage. Watch the video:

And here's the full launching statement:
There is a global war being waged against workers, against our environment, against democracy, against decency.
A network of right-wing factions is collaborating across borders to erode human rights, silence dissent, and promote intolerance. Not since the 1930 has humanity faced such an existential threat.
To defeat them, we cannot simply go back to the failed status quo of the last few decades. Unfettered globalization promised peace and prosperity. But it delivered financial crisis, needless war, and disastrous climate change, instead.
The time has come for progressives to form a grassroots movement for global justice: to mobilize workers, women and the disenfranchised all around the world behind a shared vision of democracy, prosperity, sustainability, and solidarity.
Our Progressive International will reach out to communities in every corner of the world to help build our shared vision.
Our Progressive International will stand by people who are already fighting to end inequality, exploitation, discrimination and environmental degradation.
Our Progressive International will reclaim our communities, our cities, our countries, and our planet with a bold International New Deal that we will work, together, to deliver.
It is time for progressives of the world to unite.
Today, on behalf of DiEM25 and The Sanders Institute, we issue a Call to Action: to create a global network of individuals and organizations that will fight together for dignity, peace, prosperity and the future of our planet.
Join us. Join Progressive International.
