July’s meeting was centered around taking action. Members wrote letters to State Sen. Michelle Brooks asking her to support several important pieces of legislation, including the Fairness Act (equal protections for members of the LGBTQ community) and the Patient Safety Act (safe staffing ratios for nurses). We also brainstormed letter to the editor ideas and ways to research topics and talking points, resulting in several letters being submitted to local papers during the meeting. Members were asked to support the Mercer County Democrat Party at DemStock on Aug. 11 and 12 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. DemStock is an opportunity for rural Democrats to work together and share ideas, as well as meet candidates and help their campaigns. The Mercer County Democratic Party will be selling lunch items on Saturday of the event and DWMC Members can help by attending, working the lunch counter, or donating lunch supplies in advance. DemStock will also be collecting socks to donate to a local shelter. For tickets and more information, visit www.demstock.net. Comments are closed.
