Tomorrow is the preliminary election in the city of Boston. There are several good candidates for city council who would appreciate your votes. Mayor Wu would also welcome your vote to allow her to continue her good work. If you have not already voted, make a plan to vote tomorrow. #BosPoli #vote

Yes, a movement is spreading of towns and counties passing "resolutions of condemnation" of Trump for his abandonment of the Constitutional order and other "injuries," "abuses," and "usurpations." More than 60 resolutions are moving in 20 states. Ones in NM and MA have passed. Learn more 👇

What is the DNC doing?
A lot of people wonder what the Democratic Party is up to. It's easy for us to not know about projects in GOP districts or about new strategies. So, we're taking them up on an offer to talk with Libby Schneider, the DNC's Deputy Executive Director. Bring your questions!
