View this email in your browser

Our goal with the Wednesday Wire is to give you the tools to boost Democrats and take on Trump and his Republican allies here in Massachusetts. Use these talking points on social media, as the basis for a letter to the editor of your local paper, in emails to your personal network, or in conversations with your friends and neighbors.

March 31st Special Elections - Pitch in FROM HOME

If there’s anything we’ve learned over the last few weeks, it’s how important it is to have competent leaders in office at every level of government. We can’t afford not to support the incredible Democrats running in this month’s special elections in Taunton and Easton, the Cape, the South Shore, western Mass, and Middlesex County. The MassGOP and Trump’s allies in Mass are giving it everything they’ve got, and we need to step up our efforts. We need your help to turn these purple districts blue, and there are plenty of things you can still do, safely FROM HOME, to make sure Democrats win on 3/31.

MassDems COVID-19 Mitigation Efforts

During these uncertain times, it’s critical that we all do our part to flatten the curve, and keep our friends, family, and everyone around us safe and healthy over the next few weeks. Here are just a few of the ways the MassDems are limiting the spread of COVID-19:

We’ve temporarily suspended all scheduled convention caucuses. We hope to reschedule the remaining caucuses for late April.
Should this suspension continue for an extended period of time, we will put into place a process that will ensure remaining delegate seats are filled in those communities that have not yet held caucuses.
Our Senate District Conferences to elect Caucus members to our State Committee will be held virtually over the next few weeks.
We’re compiling a list of tools Democratic Town and Ward Committee Chairs can use to take their meetings online.
Starting this week, we’ve made the decision to close MassDems HQ. Our staff will be working remotely, and can still be reached at (617) 939-0800 or at [email protected].

Make sure you’re doing your part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing and good hygiene.

Massachusetts Democrats Are Leading the Way

No surprise here, but our Massachusetts Democrats in Congress and the Senate are leading the fight against the coronavirus pandemic in Washington. They’re taking this threat seriously, and have been fighting to make sure that people have the funds, care, and resources they need during this public health crisis.

Show them some love on your own social media platforms.

Thank our elected officials for their efforts by sharing these tweets with your networks with #mapoli and tagging us @massdems.

We encourage you to share these stories with your networks online and offline. Questions about the information outlined above and about the Wednesday Wire program may be directed at our Communications Manager, Allison Mitchell.
