John,
My feet hurt and I’m still rousing out of the funnel cake and fried oreo food coma, but it was so great to see excited Dems old and new at the Arlington county fair! Between registering so many folks to vote and watching the DNC as I’m writing this, I’m pumped for the fight from now to November and I hope you are too!
You can learn about our plan for this fight TODAY at our General Body Meeting at Central Library’s Bluemont Room at 6:30 PM! You’ll learn about our strategy for the campaign and get some training from ArlDem’s own Kip Malinosky on how to maximize your outreach efforts. Can’t make it in person? Register for the livestream here.
We’re only as good as our connections to each other, so come hang out at our membership cookout* is on the 24th (RSVP for address), and hang out at the Nats game with us on the 27th!
And good luck to all our Arlington delegates at the DNC! 🥥 ~Samantha
*Membership cookout is free to all current dues paying members, please email Annie Styles, at [email protected] to check your status
