The latest from OH, PA and CA!
It’s been awhile since we last sent out a newsletter. A lot has happened.
CALIFORNIA
Author J.M. Purvis delivered our ideas to a joint meeting of Indivisible Napa County and Indivisible Sonoma County. These folks are sensational.
Over in in Bear Valley, the Bear Valley Democratic Club has embraced the Creed and the book, and is moving to spread the message. Dems101 will be presenting to the membership on March 2nd.
PENNSYLVANIA
At the recent statewide PennAG meeting, Former Rural Caucus Director Terry Noble was honored and spoke up loud and clear: “Democrats 101 brings into focus opportunities not only for the rural issues of our party, but what we as a Commonwealth and Nation currently confront. It is well past time that We Democrats start branding our own identity rather than allowing others to do so…”
On March 25th, Dems 101 presented to more than fifty members of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. It was a lively meeting, attended by county chairs from across the state, state officials, and party Chair, Sharif Street.
On March 28th, Dems 101 was on hand for the Pennsylvania State Committee meetings in Harrisburg. Coming three days after the Deminar, the buzz was considerable. Books were sold and more than 240 copies of the Creed were handed out to participants.
In the meantime, Schuylkill and Lycoming Counties have joined the Dems101 PA working group. Various outreach activities across the state are being organized. For information or to get involved, please contact Pen Garvin at penngarvin@gmail.com.
Over in York County, the Northern York Democratic Club came on board with this unexpected and delightful graphic [free to use, will appear soon on our website under Resources]
A lot of activity is underway in Delaware County. To get involved, please contact Bill Clinton at billclinton440@gmail.com.
And finally, delegations are being formed to attend the one-day conference on Values and Vision in Ohio on April 1st. (see below)
OHIO
Ashland County has joined the growing list of counties that officially adopted the Creed.
