DNC Chair Ken Martin Special Guest, May 18 FCDC Blue Fairfax Dinner

DNC Chair Ken Martin is FCDC's Special Guest at the May 18 Blue Fairfax Dinner!  Ken Martin has served as the Chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party since 2011, making him the longest serving Chair in the 75-year history of the DFL. Ken made the DFL what it is today — an all-day, year-round party dedicated to organizing communities, empowering the grassroots, electing progressive candidates, and improving the lives of Minnesotans. Before his election as Chairman, Ken spent two decades working for progressive candidates and causes. He played key leadership roles on various campaigns, including Dayton for Governor in 2010, Hatch for Governor in 2006, Kerry for President in 2004, Humphrey for Secretary of State in 2002, and Gore for President in 2000. Ken led the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment campaign in 2008, which dedicated funding to the arts, environment, conservation, and parks and trails in Minnesota. It is the largest conservation finance measure in the nation to ever become law.

Friday Power Lunch: COMMUNITY MATTERS – Practicing the Things That Make Democracies Work

This dynamic conversation is all about the power of we over me.

  • Hali Lee, author of The Big We, will show us why the future of philanthropy belongs to everyday people. Through the inspiring rise of real-life giving circles, Hali makes the case for reclaiming philanthropy from the billionaires and putting it back in the hands of communities determined to shape a better world.

  • Cecilia Minalga, Co-Founder of the Bay Area Coalition, brings grassroots wisdom with “House Parties to Build Community — Organizing 101,” sharing practical tools from the Mobilize for CA toolkit to help anyone turn a gathering into a movement.

  • OJ Semans and Bret Healy of Four Directions — the leading Native voting rights organization — will spotlight their work advancing equality at the ballot box across Indian Country. Hear about the history, hurdles, and their targeted strategy to mobilize Native voters, including a new focus on Virginia.

When communities lead, democracies thrive. Join us.
