Plan to join us for our first meeting of the season! We will be working on a new Power of the Pen project. Come help us build our membership! With the upcoming election in 2020, we want to recruit as many members as possible to help GOTV and defeat Trump!

There will be a community forum to inform voters about gerrymandering and why we must end this corrupt practice now, before redistricting begins after the 2020 Census.

This forum will explain how gerrymandering works and more importantly, how it is undermining our democracy, how we can end it, and what you, the voter, can do about it. Please join us for a stimulating, nonpartisan, and eye-opening discussion on one of the most critical issues facing our state.
