Linked to groups: DFA County Committee Project

About a week ago, we got an email from a long-time member who asked us how and when we could activate this group, because he needed the support for the local organizing he needs to do.

It was a great email, and we want action to flow from it. We had an extraordinary 3-hr. meeting at the DFA Training in late 2006, filled with illuminating, inspiring advice from many of you, and this group needs to launch!

• Saturday July 28 Local Democratic Organizing: Howard Dean's called for national organiziing on the grassroots level; the focus in NJ is Vote-by-Mail. We're going door-to-door talking to Democrats.

Neighborhood organizing is the heart & soul of rebuilding an activist, progressive Democratic Party. An event designed to get us out to meet local Dems strengthens us, and identifies for our neighbors that a lively, principled party is the right direction. DFA is way out front here, can you run one of these? The Democratic Party will provide voter lists & materials - if you list your Event by next Wednesday 7/25 - create event here.

Here are ... some great ... examples!

If July 28 is a bad day, do it later (but list it now). Some Events are coordinating with candidates; we can help you find them. Please keep us in the loop with any questions/feedback, and events!

In the coming weeks, we're going to be coming back to you and asking for your advice. We're so grateful for your continued leadership.
