Though not out there directly advocating an agenda, the Austin Progressive Potluckers are making an important impact politically and socially: They help people interact and connect. The Potluckers don't restrict themselves to one area of social change, either. Each month, they pick a different local group – environmental, political, or even spiritual – and they crash their party. Hey, at least they bring food. Basically, this introduces members of the host organization to some hungry activists, and it lets the growing number of Potluckers try many new groups and causes on for size. Networking, the key ingredient in any social movement, expands exponentially.
