aloha,

sometimes little developments that are encouraging need to be noted, including at the very local levels.  Here's a Democracy for America update, which I post with the question for you.  What do you want to see happen?  What rings your bell, makes you smile, encourages you?

June 18, papas' day, is set to foster talk-story about that with you and officers of your precinct, the better to guide our endeavors.

Come for the beer and the hot dogs, but also to talk story.

Michael
President, d16-2

Here's the DFA post in part:

Michael --
Progressive leaders won major victories on Tuesday in critical elections across the country -- and DFA members like you helped make it happen:

• Jimmy Gomez won the all-important special election in California's 34th Congressional District. Gomez co-authored the single-payer health care bill that just passed the State Senate, and members like you helped him defeat a Republican-turned-Democrat. This is a big win that helps prove that progressive leadership is the path to power for Democrats.

• Chokwe Lumumba won the runoff election and will become the next mayor of Jackson, Mississippi. Lumumba won on a people-powered left-wing platform of economic and racial justice, taking on white supremacy in the heart of Mississippi -- thanks in part to your donations.

• Aja Brown was re-elected mayor of Compton, California, and will be able to continue her work revitalizing her city and building up the local economy with new, high-wage jobs.

• Progressive candidates in New Jersey backed by DFA had a great primary night, and members like you will be with them every step of the way as we go into the general election this fall.

These are big wins that we should celebrate -- and then pivot to the other key elections coming up this year in Georgia, Virginia, Washington State, Charlotte, Cincinnati,and beyond. Once again, DFA members like you have proven we can elect progressives and build a reflective democracy by helping build winning campaigns focused on real grassroots organizing.
