(includes the latest information on DNC Officer Elections Actions)
Join us on Martin Luther King Day and unfortunately Inauguration Day for a discussion of what is next for democrats as we plan to fight back against Donald Trump. Jim will have lots of resources to share on the Virginia General Assembly, DNC Elections and how we can win with an “Every Community Strategy” for 2025 & Beyond!
As President Obama once said to America and I think is true for Democrats, we don’t have a problem with a lack of plans or policies. We unfortunately have a lack of political will in Washington to do what it takes to win power and defend it against authoritarian threats.
That is why I am also I proud to announce I have gathered the signatures of 40 DNC members required to qualify for the ballot to run for DNC Vice Chair of Civic Engagement AND DNC Vice Chair At-Large. Learn More:

As part of my campaign I will be using the platform to amplify grassroots voices like Swing Left’s recently-announced “Five Organizing Principles for the Democratic Party” that has gained quick support among DNC Chair candidates:

The ONE LESSON we should spend time learning on MLK Day 2024 is the power of ORGANIZING to build a year-round army of trust messengers and do so by selling Hope not Fear or Hate.
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
