Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Da [[link removed]] y! [[link removed]]
This Monday, October 12th, has been officially recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia at Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Elliot C. Williams of WAMU writes, “Nationally, Columbus Day has been a federal holiday on the second Monday of October since 1934, but local governments can opt-in or out of celebrating it — or, like Virginia, replace the name and objective for the day. Since the 1970s, advocates have pushed back on the narrative of Christopher Columbus as a “hero,” bringing to light his horrific treatment of indigenous peoples, and calling for widespread recognition of Native American culture and history. The first Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the U.S. was recognized in Berkeley, California, in 1992.

‘In making this proclamation, we pay tribute to the culture, history and many contributions of Virginia Indians and recommit to cultivating strong government-to-government partnerships that are grounded in mutual trust and respect,’ Northam said during his announcement.

Virginia is home to 11 state-recognized Indian tribes, seven of which are federally recognized. Last year, the Chickahominy Tribe acquired 105 acres of land in Charles County that belonged to their ancestors, and Northam signed a land trust agreement with the Mattaponi Indian Tribe — what the governor’s office called ‘two significant actions in rectifying the past.’”

If you are looking for ideas on how to recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, check out this article [[link removed]] from the Smithsonian website.

AYD Phonebank for Sara Gideon [[link removed]]
In 2021, President Biden will need a Senate Majority to get anything on his platform passed. Sara Gideon will be a crucial part of that majority. In the Maine legislature, Sara Gideon has fought to reign in the greed of insurance companies and help those suffering from the opioid crisis. She also will not claim to be pro-choice while supporting justices who support ending Roe v. Wade, unlike her opponent. Let's help elect a pro-choice Democrat in Maine this year! Join us as we make calls to voters throughout the state. Sign up NOW: [link removed] [[link removed]]

AYD North Carolina Phonebank [[link removed]]
North Carolina has proven to be one of the closest swing states for multiple levels of government in 2020. Both Joe Biden and Cal Cunningham are within the margin of error, and North Carolina Democrats need us to make calls to voters. Let's spread the word about the Democratic ticket and bring the blue wave to our neighbors down south. Join us as we make calls to voters across the state of North Carolina! Details on access coming soon.
