Progressive Planner: The Week Ahead
Here is the calendar of events for the rest of the this week and next. I would like to especially highlight tonight’s Progressive Democrats for Delaware’s meeting and this weekend’s commencement of Occupy Delaware. I have also highlighted Mitch Crane’s fundraiser, as I think it is important that we support him early and often. But it is also important for progressives to go to RD meetings. That is where you, as a Progressive, can be most effective in both shaping your state party and your state government.
Wednesday, November 2nd/b>
Progressive Democrats for Delaware, 7 p.m.
Delaware Democratic Party HQ
19 E Commons Blvd, 2nd Floor, New Castle, DE
The regular monthly meeting of PDD will be held November 2 at 7 p.m., at the Democratic Party headquarters in New Castle, located at 19 E. Commons Blvd. This month we will be discussing the most effective methods of both lobbying legislators and getting a message out to the media. We hope to have someone from the News Journal there, as well as John Flaherty of the Delaware Coalition for Open Government, and perhaps others to speak on their experience and their thoughts on the most effective ways to lobby for our positions.
