I hope this latest post signifies greater collaboration between at least three of the national opposition groups -- at least they are sharing a fundraising promo ;-)
I've been petitioning national and local groups, and key stakeholders to consider forming a top-level council with representatives from all the disparate opposition groups for many months now -- no response to date, although I've seen faint echoes of this concept in communications from the groups like the current fundraiser promo -- I've also read confirmation of the need for such a council from journalists and other sources.
A top-level council would formulate strategic goals and coordinate protests, boycotts, work actions, and ultimately, civil disobedience actions. All but protests require a level of strategic planning and coordination than we currently have.
I can see why you'd suggest that, but the top-level opposition council I think we need today doesn't share much with DNC past or present -- the members would come from leaders who have built a grassroots following; not politicians who for the most part have first and foremost represented corporate interests.

". . . don't currently have."
Yeah, that top-down council you suggest used to be the DNC.
