Happy Monday, Fairfax Dems!
This Tuesday, your voice matters as we vote on the FCDC redistricting resolution [[link removed]] . Have you registered to join us [[link removed]] ?
First, we make our views known.
Then, we lift our voices and our spirits together at Democracy Savings Time [[link removed]] social fundraiser on Sunday, March 8th.
Join us for an evening of music, community, and saving democracy.
This isn’t just another concert. It’s Democracy Savings Time: a gathering of voices and shared values that channels our democratic spirit into real impact.
We’ll sing the protest songs that have carried movements forward — songs of courage, justice, and collective action — because the way we draw our districts should reflect the will of the people, not political advantage.
🎶 Sing with us.
🤝 Connect with your community.
💪 Support the work that ensures every vote counts.
Onward — together.
