When: Monday, Oct 15, 6pm
Where: Leslie Cockburn’s office at Ix Park, 937 @2nd St, NE.
Here’s a personal invite from Cormac, Cville’s organizer:
“As our team prepares for Get Out the Vote, we invite you into the office to learn about our campaign’s ground game strategy in the final days… Our team will do a deep dive on strategy and what it will take to turn out voters for Leslie and Senator Kaine in Charlottesville. We want to share tactics and goals we have developed for the final stretch, so even if you have not yet volunteered with us we invite you to join the conversation! This training will also serve as an opportunity to meet the volunteer leaders who have stepped up to run local GOTV operations.”

Please RSVP to Cormac: cormac@lesliecockburnforcongress.com
P.S. In case you haven’t seen how close this race is, check it out.”

Thanks to the Charlottesville Democratic Committee of 100 for attending our meeting last week. We overwhelmingly voted to pass the following statement regarding the events of August, 2017 and our desire to diversify points of view within our organization:

Statement: “The Charlottesville Democratic Committee opposes all forms of discrimination that promote division, suppress equal opportunity, and deny anyone living in this country the right to equal protection under the law. We particularly denounce the racism and anti-Semitism that escalated into violence in our city in August 2017, and we reject the policies and beliefs that have underpinned those forces throughout our city’s and nation’s history. We are committed to fighting racism and anti-Semitism and their enduring and insidious effects in our community. We are also committed to helping to heal the city’s wounds and to building a diverse and inclusive Democratic Party in Charlottesville to better reflect the concerns of all residents.”

Delia Goldin (delia@lesliecockburnforcongress.com), field organizer for the Cockburn campaign, would love to hear from you.  Leslie Cockburn website. Click on EVENTS for information about the next opportunities in our area.
