DNC Chair Ken Martin [[link removed]] is FCDC's Special Guest at the May 18 Blue Fairfax Dinner! From MSNBC [[link removed]]: " In announcing the People’s Cabinet, the DNC contrasted Trump’s largely unqualified panel of advisers that’s chock-full of billionaires and the 'experts on the economy, health care, working families and communities, public safety, national security, and foreign policy' it will put forth. Martin said he’s tapping people who 'will equip communities with the reliable, accurate information they need to fight back against the worst of the Trump and Republican agenda.' They’ll be putting out social media content, holding media briefings and headlining town halls in GOP-held House districts that critique — and, ideally, offer alternatives to — Trump’s agenda."

UPCOMING EVENTS
** Friday Power Lunch: FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM ON ALL FRONTS
Friday, May 2 @ 12:00 PM
Zoom
This week Friday Power Lunch tackles poverty, power, and the forces threatening American democracy. What role does religion play in the health and wealth of our democracy? With the rise of Christian Nationalism in America, we confront the movement to dismantle democracy and the social justice movement organizing the power of the people to fight for their freedom on all fronts.
* Returning guest Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis joins Noam Sandweiss-Back to share insights from their new book, “You Only Get What You’re Organized to Take”, a rallying call for grassroots power and the movement to end poverty.
* Then, journalist and author Katherine Stewart spotlights her latest work, “Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy”, exposing the dangerous alliance between wealth, politics, and religious extremism.
It’s about organizing smart, speaking truth, and defending democracy — together.
