Progressive Thought Matters' mission to increase voter education and participation by previously under-represented groups requires a smart and multilevel campaign; one that involves direct contact with voters and a media-based messaging platform.
To bolster PTM's field operations and to generate interest in this year's elections we launched a series of engaging interviews we call PTM's Brown Bag Sessions. These interesting and entertaining interviews, conducted by our Chairman, Robin Winston, are designed to give participants a chance to watch and engage with some of Indiana's best known thought leaders as they discuss trends in Indiana politics and offer their thoughts about the 2016 elections.
