“Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States to target you? The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American. Not to target one. But he targeted me, Lady Rudy, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen who stand up to help Fulton County run an election in the middle of the pandemic.” ~ Lady Ruby (Freeman)
Lady Ruby is the reason we must vote. We have to participate in elections to preserve our democracy.

Consider a Monthly Donation
Are you frustrated and tired of the attacks on our democracy? How about the recent state legislative actions that are reversing progress on voting and women’s rights? We will not stand by idly as our state and democracy is dismantled. Defending the rights of Indian River County and Floridian citizens through voter outreach, voter education, and candidates is our mission. But we need you! For the price of coffee and a scone at Starbucks, your monthly donation can help keep our office open and staffed to accomplish our goals. Please consider signing up to be a monthly donor to allow us to continue the vital work necessary. You can donate here or on our website:

School Board Candidate
School Board Candidate Cindy Gibbs
This Week – we need you to put one of Cindy’s yard signs in your yard. You can pick them up in our office during office hours. Let’s show support for our candidates!
Congratulations to Cindy for receiving the endorsement of Florida’s Freedom to Read Project!
The most important thing to do right now is to knock on doors for Cindy. We knock on our neighbors’ doors, say a few words about the upcoming election and Cindy’s qualifications for the position of School Board Member, and then leave a card or a door hanger with them. Sign up here to canvass every Tuesday evening with Cindy here:
https://www.mobilize.us/indianrivercountydec/event/464496/
If you don’t want to canvass, we have door hangers you can hang on neighborhood doors. You can pick some up at the Democratic office.
We now have postcards to mail to potential voters. We provide the names and addresses and the postcards. We would appreciate the in-kind donation of standard postcard stamps.
And don’t forget to donate! Cindy’s campaign can accept donations of up to $1,000 for both the primary election (up to August 23rd) and then again before the November 8th general election. Use this actblue link:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cynthia-gibbs-for-school-board-1
and share it with your friends, family and neighbors. Checks can be written to Cynthia Gibbs Campaign Account for up to $1,000.
Last, Cindy is marching in the Sebastian 4th of July Parade and will have a booth at the Freedom Fest at Riverview Park immediately following.
She will need help setting up the booth by 7:30 AM at Riverview Park in Sebastian—she will be in a 10x10 tent handing out apples and American flags and campaign literature. The Freedom Fest officially begins after parade—around 10:30 AM and plans to stay until 4 PM.
Would you like to walk or ride with Cindy in the Sebastian 4th of July parade? Email her at [email protected]
