Living Liberally (best known as the organizational home of Drinking Liberally, a national network of lefty social gatherings) is encouraging people to host screenings of It’s A Wonderful Life and take action against foreclosures. Or, have fun, share holiday cheer – and get the banks to leave your neighbor’s house alone.

Justin Krebs is the cofounder of Drinking Liberally and its spin-offs Eating Liberally, Screening Liberally, Laughing Liberally, Reading Liberally, and Living Liberally. Over 50,000 people take part in weekly gatherings in 300 communities around the country (and some outside it), including in my town, where liberal political talk is on the agenda. Given the inclination of many, if not most, Americans to avoid politics, and the lack of any support groups for liberals in the most right-wing communities, this has to be a good thing.
