THANK YOU for attending our Wednesday, January 6 Meeting!

(Click the “resources” widget to the left to access the slides for the January 2021 meeting)

WEDNESDAY, January 6, 6:30pm via ZOOM
(we’ll send a link Wednesday morning!):

PLEASE JOIN US for our next meeting, where Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty will give a presentation on his latest initiative: tackling bias and hate crimes in our community.

Our Wednesday meeting will be the day after the Georgia Runoffs, as well as on the day of congress counting the electoral college votes. It will also be the day that republicans will once again try to subvert democracy — at least we know what they stand for! That’s why we’ll provide updates, info, a place to commiserate (no, you are not crazy, and yes, 2020 was a hellscape), and action items for the challenging months ahead.

WATCH YOUR EMAIL for the zoom link Wednesday morning  and please… tell a friend (you can share the browser link above) about our next LAD meeting, Wednesday, January 6, 6:30pm.

THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!

Everything You Need to Vote Your WHOLE Ballot!

bocovoter.org is the official website of the 2020 Boulder County Democratic Party (BCDP). It might be familiar to you, since the printed BCDP Voter Guide has been dropped at doors since 2008, but the website is even more in depth, explaining the rationale behind the BCDPs ballot recommendations, just as one example. You’ll also find candidate bios, links to ballot drop locations, “downloadables”, and more. The bocovoter.org website it updated regularly, and is also in Spanish.

FROM THE BOCOVOTER.ORG WEBSITE:

ELECTION DAY is Tuesday, Nov. 3…
BUT WE STRONGLY SUGGEST as soon as you receive your ballot, use this guide to vote your ballot completely, SEAL & SIGN the envelope and DROP your ballot in one of the many, convenient BALLOT DROP BOXES near you. (If you must mail your ballot, please DO SO EARLY!) We want landslide turnout! PLAN ON the national vote count to take longer, and run past election night — in order for complete and accurate results to be counted!

AND IN CASE THIS ISN’T ENCOURAGEMENT
ENOUGH, LISTEN TO SAMUEL:

AND FOR INSPIRATION, THE LOVE:
