Yearlykos, the annual convention of progressive bloggers hosted by the good people at DailyKos.com, is in full swing in Chicago right now. This year, labor is well represented at the convention with SEIU and UHW leaders speaking about the urgent need for universal healthcare.

Sal Rosselli, president of UHW, told Earthtimes.org: ""Our members are committed to achieving quality healthcare reform, and we have seen how effective the online community can be at bringing attention to this and other vital causes."

Courage Campaign Chair Rick Jacobs added: "Labor and the online communities usually have common agendas. Communication between us is key to more victories."

Stay with CourageCampaign.org in the coming weeks for a major announcement toward making universal healthcare a reality.
