Please Join Rob Whitney for a Final Standout in New Hampshire This Weekend!

The Boston Ward 5 Democrats, along with other Boston area Democrats, will  head north on Saturday, November 2, for a final "Standout for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz" event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, beginning at 10:00 AM.  The location: Market Square. Members of the Portsmouth Democrats will join us!

Come join your fellow Democrats and hold one of our signs or wave a flag for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, in support of our Democratic Party Presidential ticket.

Parking is convenient in and near Market Square. Just show up; we'll supply the signs!  If you need a ride to Portsmouth, or if you can offer one, please let us know.
RSVP:  ward5boston@gmail.com.

From Our Chair Bob Binney: Thanks to All Who Made Our Sunday GOTV Effort a Major Success!

I am, with very sad emotions, announcing the end of our fabulous Sunday Workshops. Although I have found some bits and pieces of mailings to do, another Sunday gathering/mailing will not get the messages out on time.

My thanks to each and every one of our 126 volunteers who helped with the program. We started with four at the first meeting 23 weeks ago, and grew to an average of 25 attendees per week, who completed an extraordinary 13,700 mailings!

Note: the Ward 5 Committee could still use donations to defray the cost of postage, which is very expensive. You can donate through ActBlue here.  We'd appreciate any amount, as we've been otherwise funding this effort with member dues.

Are You Registered to Vote? Are Your Family and Friends? Early Voting is On!

Early Voting is taking place now through through Friday, November 1st. You can find a list of Early Voting locations here.

Time is Limited: Sign Up Here to Reach Voters in New Hampshire and Maine.

Right now, we have little time to convince the American people that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have the plans, the knowledge, the empathy, and drive to lead us into the future.

According to MassDems, Massachusetts Democrats have reached more swing state voters than Democrats from any other state. We must continue this work to get Kamala and Tim over the finish line.

We still need as many folks as possible to knock doors or make phone calls. There are countless opportunities available, straight from Harris/Walz Massachusetts State Director Alex Bausch:

Two weeks and counting. Let’s do this!
