After, we had a little late-night pizza at Southern Roots Brewery to talk strategy! Thank you to everyone who showed up, everyone who is running and everyone working behind the scenes to make sure our party is successful! We have high hopes for Ellis County!

Also, a huge shout-out to all who participated last night to get this put together. It was a good time, for a great cause, and fabulous company💙

…We are supporting our neighbors In Dallas, Tarrant and Navarro counties for the protest. If you want to help organize the next No Kings, reach out to Kelly at [email protected] /end

All that to say, we’re sorry we couldn’t organize a protest. Anyone is able to organize a protest and we will gladly promote it and attend, but it can not just be left up to Dem leadership. EVERYONE needs to come together, organize together and work TOGETHER. We cannot do this alone! ….contd

We’re getting geared up for early voting on Monday, we’re preparing for the primaries in the spring, we’re organizing regional groups to reach more voters.….contd

…While we appreciate the people who do show up and volunteer we just don’t have the man power to organize a protest.

There is a lot of organizing that goes on behind the scenes that the average voter doesn’t see.…contd
