MOVING UP in the U.P.

Newsletter #22 / May 15, 2023

Hi all.

MICHIGAN DEMS at the RURAL SUMMIT

Democrats 101 author J.M. Purvis was the first person the Democratic organizers thought of as they planned their first annual Rural Summit in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, April 14th and 15th. Purvis opened the conference in front of 140 Democrats from rural counties across Michigan. See Jim’s opening remarks here

The summit was the brainchild of the Rural Caucus of the Michigan Democratic Party, chaired by Cathy Albro. Special thanks to the Chippewa County Democratic Party for purchasing 140 copies of Democrats 101 so every attendee would have the book. We made additional copies available at our information table in the conference lobby, and several Democrats made donations to help us cover the costs (Thank you!!)

At day’s end, Jim gathered with a press of enthusiastic Democrats for an impromtpu conversation about where we stand and how we move forward. All in all, the Democrats 101 team had a great time meeting up with these Michiganders and catching up on how to bring the values and vision of Democrats to the rural communities.

ADOPTING THE DEMOCRATIC CREED

As of this writing, sixteen Democratic Parties and organizations have formally adopted the Democratic Creed as their statement of values and beliefs. We’ve got a ways to go, and we’re moving forward, state by state.

Each week, more Democratic parties adopt the Democratic Creed as their central statement of values and beliefs.

Let’s add your local Democratic party to this growing list!

One more thing

Our visits to see you in person always lift us up, and they energize the Democrats we meet with. But visits cost a bit more than a Zoom call. Can you help us cover some of those travel costs? Even a small donation will make a huge difference.

Can you help?

Got an idea? Let us know!
