  • Fry’s Spring Beach Club, 2512 Jefferson Park Ave.
  • Free cider & hot chocolate (you keep the mug!)
  • Preview our fall fashion line
  • Everyone’s welcome, bring a friend!

At the meeting we’ll be distributing free Cville Dems mugs. Why? We want to use fewer disposable products at our events— at the polls, during voter registration, “Turn Out the Vote Thursdays” at Ix, etc. Thanks for conserving (and getting Cville Dems more exposure!).

As for clothing… we also have a NEW Sweatshirt/T-shirt with a logo on front and nothing on the back. T-shirts are $10 and sweatshirts $20, bargains bordering on a steal. Get yours right away so you can be a walking billboard for us and Democratic candidates in the leadup to November 5! Thanks to Blue Ridge Graphics for giving us amazing pricing so we can offer them to you so inexpensively.

Screenshot of "Grassroots Connector" article by Dan Doernberg about Cville Dems and Rural GroundGame doing textbanking during Election 2024The Cville Dems and Rural GroundGame (RGG) are featured in a new text banking article that appeared in “Grassroots Connector” yesterday, a national newsletter for grassroots political group leaders (like Lynlee Thorne of Rural GroundGame) working to amplifying the power and the voice of grassroots citizen activists (people like you!).

The article, written by our own Dan Doernberg, was based on background information from Frances Summers and Mary Ann Harris and included perspectives from Thursday volunteers Mark Hall, Andi Goodman, and Annette Owens as well as tips from RGG’s Abby Garber. Check it out!
