Join us for our October Meeting
Wednesday, October 12!
Our October meeting is coming up NEXT WEDNESDAY, October 12th, at 6:00 at our HQ at 44 Commercial Street! We’re nudging our meeting ahead one day so that we can meet and then watch the first Gubernatorial Debate together!
We’ll have food and drinks for guests and a packed agenda. You can learn how to get involved with working to win in November and beyond!
Please note the time change to 6:00 to accommodate the 7 pm debate. Parking is ample in both the lot at 44 Commercial and St Peter’s Square lot next door.
Message from the Chair
Friends and Fellow Democrats!
With the passing of September into October we are now well and truly into Election Season! After a lively Primary race, we now have an amazing and historic slate of candidates for the Corner Office in Boston, as well as a strong showing for our local leaders like Rep Ferrante and Eileen Duff!
Now the real work begins! Many of you attended our campaign HQ kickoff on the 18th, where we are now in full swing. We are down here every day from now until Election Day at 44 Commercial Street – right down the Fort. We’re gearing up for canvassing, phonebanks and letter-writing – the work that will allow us to win big in November.
We’re also trying a new approach to HQ this go round. Rather than just an office and campaign stable, we’ve set up this year as more of a community center, a people-focused space to spend time and meet other Democrats. We’ve got snacks, comfy couches, a 55” TV, and a view of the Harbor that can’t be beat. We’re planning a few movie nights, and at least two debate watch parties (so far). Come down and see us!
