So You Say You Want Change? Exploring the Conflicts and Opportunities Ahead

Tens of thousands of volunteers, delegates from the Democratic Party and the presumptive presidential nominee will be hitting Denver for the DNC championing “change.”

But do they all agree on the best kind of changes for this country? With the help of local and national leaders and activists, Live From Main Street: Denver is taking a closer look at what this buzzword means and what real, sustainable change would look like. Is a new, more progressive era on the horizon? And what impact will this new era have on education, security, the environment, immigration reform and other issues critical to the day-to-day lives of everyday Americans?

Laura Flanders, host of GRITtv and The Nation's RadioNation, will moderate this televised town hall discussion featuring:

Van Jones - Founder and President of Green for All
Rep. Donna Edwards - (MD-4th District)
David Sirota - Journalist and Bestselling Author of The Uprising
