Good morning Friend --



We hope you are having a good summer! As we continue our work, we hope you will join us for one of our upcoming action team meetings. Please also see our recent story <[link removed]> commemorating the involvement of PA members in the creation of Durham Pride. 



Mark your calendars for the PA PAC Endorsement Meeting on September 1st. We will vote on endorsements for the Durham City Council Ward races and the Durham Mayor’s 2022 primary races. 



We will also vote on whether to finalize the People's Alliance's interim grievance and harassment policy, which was provisionally approved at our last membership meeting. Please read and consider this policy in advance here <[link removed]>.



Lapsed members who have not yet renewed their membership for the 2021 calendar year canrenew online <[link removed]> up until a five days before the endorsement meeting to speak on behalf of a candidate and vote for their preferred candidates. Because the meeting will be virtual, memberships must be paid up five days prior to the meeting to allow for the People's Alliance to process those memberships and send the zoom link to registered members.



New members — those who join less than 60 days before the endorsement meeting — are encouraged to attend and speak on behalf of candidates but cannot vote to endorse a candidate for office.



We look forward to seeing you!
