From Our Chair, Bob Binney: Our Next Meeting, and the Primary Results. 

Summer has passed and fall is upon us! Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 15th, 7PM, Community Church, 565 Bolyston Street, 2nd Floor. We'd love to see you in person as we discuss the September 1st Primary, and the upcoming Midterms. A Zoom link will be available.

We will also remember Helen Cox, a beloved committee member, who passed away on August 4th. She was a community activist for 60 years!  Read her obituary here.

A Note From MassDems Chair, Steve Kerrigan

Congratulations Democrats. Congratulations to every individual who put themselves out there by putting their name on the ballot – because that alone takes a kind of courage most people never choose to summon. Running for office means opening yourself up to scrutiny, to criticism, to long nights and longer odds, all in service of the belief that you could make things better for your neighbors, from the Berkshires to Cape Cod.

Congratulations to the candidates who won, and just as much to those who ran hard and came up short; democracy needs both. Every name on a ballot, in every city and town across this Commonwealth, is a statement that our system still works, that people are still willing to step forward instead of standing back.

And congratulations to the organizers who built the infrastructure, the volunteers who knocked doors from Pittsfield to Provincetown, the donors who chipped in what they could, and the voters across all 351 cities and towns who showed up and made their voices heard. None of this happens without all of you.

This momentum we’ve created isn't something you bank. It's something you expand on, or it fades away.So Democrats, let’s turn that momentum into organization, organization into action, and action into results people will actually feel in their daily lives.

Onward!
