In order to get a grip on reality today, a new paradigm is needed. The GRIP is a group of progressive voices looking to create a networking tool that will connect other socially conscious individuals, locally and globally, to share info and update one another with current issues endangering our communities. From activism of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Arab Spring, from Women's Rights to Labor Rights, and across the board, we wish to use knowledge to empower our fellow passionate progressives.
