The Charlottesville Democratic Committee
Nancy Murphy Spicer and Sumner Brown registered voters at Westhaven Day 2024; Cville Dems registered 12 voters that day!
A big “Thank You” to Kardinal Hall for letting us host a table at their location. For more information on how you can help register voters in this significant election season, contact Suzanne at suzemichels@gmail.com.
There’s a great feeling of accomplishment when you register new voters, especially in an election year!
If you’d like to help, please contact Suzanne Michels at suzemichels@gmail.com.
We’ll postpone our kickoff of Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Thursdays at Ix Park until Thursday, July 11, 5-7pm.
Because the Coordinated Campaign will be having their Office Opening and Debate Watch Party on Thursday, June 27, 7:30 to 11:00 pm (see above), and because the following Thursday is the Fourth of July, we decided to postpone.
Hopefully, we will be meeting every Thursday thereafter through Thursday, Oct. 31. On July 11, we will be all set to go with canvassing, phone banks, text banks, and postcard writing. Please plan to join us on the lawn outside of Brazos Tacos on July 11. Since the picnic bench can fill up fairly quickly, please bring a blanket or chair to sit on the grass.
Postcard writing is an expensive undertaking! If you can contribute to the cost of printing and stamps, please do so by going to our Act Blue Page and clicking on postcards and stamps: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/charlottesville-democratic-committee-1
A big thanks you to our state delegate Katrina Callsen, as well as to Jason Melendez and Roy Carter, for registering voters at the Juneteenth Celebration last Saturday!
If you’d like to help with this important effort to increase the Democratic voting potential in Cville, please contact Suzanne Michels at suzemichels@gmail.com.
As soon as we know who the Democratic 5th District candidate will be, Get Out the Vote Thursdays will resume on Thursday, June 27 at IX Park. We’ll then meet every Thursday to canvass, phone bank, text bank (new for us), and/or write postcards. We’ll be reaching out to specific potential voters we identify in the City of Cville and the 5th District, and also coordinating with the campaigns to help them reach their targeted individuals. Together we can reach out to thousands of registered voters and turn them into actual Democratic votes this November!
We hope you’ll join us!
In the meantime, if your fingers are itching to start writing postcards, there are two groups (unaffiliated with the Cville Dems) with earlier meetup times:
Voter registration efforts are already going strong. If you’d like to participate, please contact Suzanne (suzemichels@gmail.com) if you know of a local event or location ripe for our voter registration and/or rights restoration efforts or if you’d like to join the voter registration team!
Weekend rain has slowed us down a bit, but we continue to get out into the community to register new voters. We’ve tabled at Mel’s Diner, Sunshine Market on Cherry Ave., Community Day at Washington Park, UVA’s Community Fair for high-school seniors, Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall, Kardinal Hall, and of course, the Ix Market.
Please contact Suzanne (suzemichels@gmail.com) if you know of a local event or location ripe for our voter registration and/or rights restoration efforts or if you’d like to join the voter registration team! You’ll always have a partner and it’s pretty much always fun!
