“Boots on the Ground”


  We MUST ensure Democratic victories in November. DVDC has committed to distributing door hangers listing party-endorsed candidates, and literature of local candidates, over the weekends of Sept. 25-26 and Oct. 2-3 or at your convenience.

  Our goal is for each member to contribute just 3 hours. If you haven’t signed up, email carolynphinney@comcast.net and include the city and neighborhood where you’d like to work.
