Hi, Team North Carolina!
I’ve got two great events to flag for you—one this Sunday and one a bit further into September. Hope you can make one or both. They should be reallt informative and inspiring.
First, on Sunday, September 10, from 4-5:30 PM please join the Durham County Democrats and the Durham Indivisible Group 'We Stand Up!' for a zoom event to raise money to hire Democratic organizers across North Carolina
Their speakers are:
Nancy MacLean, author of "Democracy In Chains”
Tony McMullin, founder and director of Postcards to Voters
Elijah King, 3rd vice chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party
Beverly Gray, MD, a Durham OBGYN who filed a federal lawsuit challenging NC’s new abortion bans.
Register here (for free) and/or consider a donation.
On Monday September 18th, 4-5 ET please join me and a great coalition of groups for an overview of the statewide races in NC in 2024. Tom Hallock, co-chair of Force Multiplier, will lead a conversation with:
Roohi Rustum, a Regional Director for States at the DNC working in Southern states
Sen. Jay Chaudhuri of Wake County, Senate Democratic Whip and the first Indian-American NC state legislator.
OK, all. More soon. Hope to see you at one or both events.
Jess
Thanks, Jess, for posting this about Sunday’s event! The Dem Party is experiencing renewed energy, with new, young leadership at state and some county levels.
So far about 100 people have registered for Sunday. We’re hoping for the biggest crowd possible. Hope everyone will consider joining us.
