Hi John,

The Democratic National Convention is starting TOMORROW, and will run through Thursday. And if you’re anything like me, you’re excited about all the amazing events that are happening over the next several days! If there’s a silver lining to be found during this global pandemic, it’s that with many events moving online, this will be the most accessible Convention in history!

Show your excitement online with this handy digital toolkit [ [link removed] ]! You can do all sorts of things like generate your #DemConvention social media profile image, add a new cover photo, get a new phone background, and so much more.

Each day is packed with amazing content! Here’s a quick summary of the overall format: Each day from Noon until 7pm ET, the Caucus & Council meetings [ [link removed] ] will be held. These will include a variety of amazing events ranging from the Campaign Academy training sessions, to meetings of the Women’s Caucus, Labor Council, Rural Caucus, Black Caucus, Council on the Environmental and Climate Crisis, and many more. And the best part is that all these events are open to the public!

Each night’s programming will follow a theme:

Monday, August 17: We the People—This convention is about Americans rising up to take our country back—and move forward as a nation together. As we have learned throughout our history, when we stand united, we can overcome anything, including the monumental challenges we face today. With Joe Biden as president, ‘we the people’ will mean all the people.

Tuesday, August 18: Leadership Matters—A moment like now demands real leadership. A leader who has the experience and character to meet the moment. A leader who will unite us, tell us the truth, take responsibility, listen to experts and be an example for the nation. Strong people and strong countries rise up during crises, don’t shy away from what is tough, and lead with competence. With Joe Biden as our president, we will restore honesty and integrity to our government, and stake out a renewed leadership role in the world. And we will create more justice, more fairness and more equality for all.

Wednesday, August 19: A More Perfect Union—We are not going back to where we were before Donald Trump’s economy and mishandling of the pandemic—for too many Americans, that wasn’t good enough. As president, Joe Biden will lead us to a better America we know is possible. As he leads us out of Trump’s chaos and crises, he will help America build back better.

Thursday, August 20: America’s Promise—The measure of a president is the same as the measure of a person: What principles guide them? How do they handle adversity? Being president doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are. Joe Biden is a good man who believes in the promise of America, and as president, he will deliver on that promise for all.

The stakes are higher than ever for November, and this is our chance to come together, celebrate our diversity, and lay the groundwork to Build Back Better.

Many thanks,

Lisa
