This spring the Social Organizing Workgroup is working on informal, purely social and highly localized gatherings for EDP members and prospective members get to know each other on a personal level. We hope these gatherings will help reduce feelings of isolation for progressives living in these highly “red” communities, acquaint neighbors and friends with the progressive viewpoint and identify shared concerns, and promote progressives as a positive, friendly, and helpful presence in the community.
We are currently seeking “Neighborhood Captains” to help coordinate get-to-know-you and other social gatherings at the neighborhood level either in their own homes, in other volunteers’ homes, or at local eateries or other venues. If you're interested in helping out, please contact Kristy McKay at EDPSocial@tegnelink.com
