Hi John,

June is supposed to be a busy month filled with campaigning and celebration. However, the Morris County Democratic Committee can not and will not be complicit during a time when our black brothers and sisters need our voices, support and help. We will not only stand, but act, in solidarity with members of our Pride community, POC and those fighting against racial and social injustices. 

"This is a difficult time for our country. Between a raging pandemic, economic crisis and the fallout from the horrific death of George Floyd it is clear now more than ever that change must happen. Former President Barack Obama has said that it's not an either or thing when it comes to protesting for change and working to elect candidates who share our values: we must do both this year. Please see our lists below of upcoming ways to get involved this year."

- Chip Robinson

Chair, Morris County Democratic Committee
