Better South goes Down Under

The Center for a Better South's John Simpkins just returned from a successful trip to Australia, where he met with progressive groups in Sydney and Melbourne. Simpkins talked with academics and state and federal officeholders about the opportunities for establishing international linkages among progressive organizations.

"Australia faces some of the same challenges as the U.S. when it comes to constructing a solid progressive infrastructure. The more we can learn from each other, the better both efforts will go," said Simpkins.
