Longmont Area Democrats

LAD MEETING TOMORROW! Wednesday, June 3, 6:30pm IN PERSON, at Front Range Community College. At our last meeting of the season, Jason Vallery will present AI Comes Home: Work, Power, and Democracy in the Age of Applied AI — Rather than focusing only on hype or fear, his presentation asks a more useful civic question: Where should AI help, where should humans remain in charge, who benefits from the productivity gains, and how can communities protect workers and their quality of life while still embracing useful tools?

Amy, Stan and Ingrid will provide another Activism update, with resources, plenty of audience participation and inspiration! PLEASE CHECK OUT the Activism in the Face of Fascism widget on thhis page, and DOWNLOAD & SHARE the handy bookmark, presented at previous meetings, here.

We’ll cover, and answer any questions about the JUNE 30 PRIMARY — your ballot will arrive SOON!

SO JOIN US…and please, bring a friend! Wednesday, June 3, 6:30pm, at Front Range Community College, 2121 Miller Dr (east side of Miller Dr.), the Classroom Building, enter from the parking lot, Door C4.

Kathy Nelson, a Longmont resident originally from Indiana, wrote the lyrics and music for this incredible song(!), and generously sent it to us, so we are happy to share it here. Rousing, inspiring, beautifully written — we think it just might be our adopted anthem! GREAT LINES throughout! I asked Kathy to give us some background:

“A little bit about me. I’m 72, from IN, been living in Longmont for 20 years. I’ve been a musician since the age of 6 and I’ve been songwriting, off and on, for about 40 years. The song We Aren’t Going Back was written in 2024, inspired by Kamala Harris campaign…Now that we are becoming a shit hole country I’m hoping the song will inspire more people to vote in the midterms to turn things around. I also made the imovie for it.”

LAD MEETING: Wednesday, May 6, 6:30pm. 

OUR AGENDA IS PACKED WITH GREAT STUFF!: prepping for the June 30 Primary, we have 2 more candidates, Anil Pesamarelli, candidate for HD19*, and Jessie Danielson, candidate for Secretary of State*. We’ll hear the latest about Passenger Rail for Longmont (!) from RTD Board Director, Karen Benker, and former Longmont Mayor, Joan Peck. Karen and Joan — for decades — have been tireless advocates for rail to & from Longmont, a dream that is coming closer to reality. We’ll have another Activism update, and introduce our campaign in concert with Common Cause Colorado, “Hands Off Our Vote!”, including a voter protection hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to report voting interference, and new election protection legislation, HB26-1113, going through our state legislature, RIGHT NOW.
