SC Progressive Network’s
Annual Fall Retreat
Sept. 29-Oct. 1
Santee State Park
Join grassroots activists from across the state for the SC Progessive Network’s fall retreat, a weekend of fellowship, networking, and organizing. This is our first overnight meeting since politics imploded on the national and state level. The landscape has shifted dramatically, and we will take advantage of new opportunities while addressing new challenges.
Friends and allies will gather at Santee State Park at its autumnal finest to talk politics, build alliances, sharpen strategies, and recharge our batteries.

Network projects are gaining traction and making great strides. We’ll hear updates on their work, and do break-out sessions for deeper dives in each.
- New Legacy Project (the Network’s youth coordinating body)
- Grassroots Alliance for Immigrant Rights (GAIR) and Young Immigrants in Action (YIA)
- Racial Profiling Project
- Democracy Project
Reps from our Network member groups will share their victories and challenges, and offer ways for you to join or collaborate.
We’ll get the latest scoop from the Network’s government watchdog, John Crangle, who reporters are calling for information and the governor and attorney general are calling for counsel. Since writing the book Operation Lost Trust and the Ethics Reform Movement, he is the state’s go-to guy for insight into the legislature.
We’ll get a legislative forecast from Progressive Caucus members Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter and Sen. Mike Fanning. We’ll discuss bills we are introducing, tracking, and backing. Find out about our inside/outside strategy – how it is working and how we are winning.
Come for a day or the whole weekend. We promise you will leave more energized and inspired than when you arrived.
Friday is for early registration, beginning at 4pm; dinner on your own. Once you’ve registered, we will send program details and a list of things to bring.
Cabins, tents, and RV options for overnight guests. Children welcome. Check Facebook event page for updates.
