People aren’t talking enough about Kamala Harris and her accomplishments. Tell friends and family:

  • As Vice President, she has worked to bring people together to advance opportunity, deliver for families, and protect fundamental freedoms across the country.
  • She has led the fight for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies.
  • She has also worked for the freedom to live safe from gun violence.
  • She has worked to keep elections sound.
  • She has supported national efforts to drink clean water and breathe clean air.
  •  While making history at home as an African American and Asian American, she is also representing the nation abroad – embarking on more than a dozen foreign trips, traveling to more than 19 countries, and meeting with more than 150 world leaders to strengthen critical global alliances.
  • The Vice President has been a trusted partner to President Joe Biden as they work together to deliver monumental achievements that are life changing for millions of Americans.
  • Together, they have invested in the economy to create a record number of jobs and keep unemployment low. Their work has led to more small business creation in a two-year period than any previous administration.

In 130 Days We’ll Nominate a President – Do You Want to be Involved?

We’ll have a brief full Cville Dems meeting followed by a Caucus in Charlottesville on Monday, April 22, in the Swanson Room, Central Library branch (explained below). Doors will open at 6pm, followed by the meeting 6:30-6:50pm. Registration for the Caucus will begin at 7:00pm, and the Caucus will begin at 7:30pm.

The Caucus is an event to elect Charlottesville delegates and alternates to attend both the Fifth Congressional District Democratic Convention (May 18 in Fluvanna County) and the DPVA State Convention (June 22 in Richmond). If you’d like to be elected as a Charlottesville delegate or alternate, you must pre-file (see article just below).

We need to elect 14 delegates plus three alternates at the Caucus – yes, we need 17 people to volunteer for this important Democratic representation of Charlottesville at both the Fifth District convention and the DPVA State convention in Richmond. Delegates must attend both conventions. It’s satisfying and enjoyable to be part of this political process, which goes all the way to determining the next President and Vice President.
