We had a great time in May, winning some key local elections and celebrating those important successes. Democrats are running & winning in elections across the country. Momentum is growing and so is our club as more and more people are stepping up and committing themselves to getting more actively involved. So check out our June Calendar of Events and join us again this month to continue the work of resisting tyranny, recruiting, developing, & electing competent Democratic candidates, and protecting & preserving our democracy for generations to come. When we come together and work together, there’s nothing we can’t do!

The book is available at most libraries, bookstores, and for purchase online. It’s a very short book (128 pages) that can be read or listened to by audiobook in under 2 hours. Folks who want to can feel free to read or listen to it beforehand, but it is NOT a prerequisite. We are taking it in chunks at a time. Come learn with us how to resist fascism effectively together.

The FMAD Club will once again have a booth there, and we are looking for volunteers to help us set up, staff it, and take it down at the end. It’s a great opportunity to tell others about our local club! Please let leadership know if you are interested in helping. For more information about the festival, including a site map, parking & shuttle information, & FAQ, click here: Independence Fest 2025 Democratic Candidates are welcome to help staff the booth, pass out lit, and talk to voters. As the event approaches, we will be sharing a Mobilize link so folks can sign up for a spot and a timeslot at our FMAD booth. Contact FMAD leadership for more information.
Please note that because of the Independence Day holiday, we will not be hosting a First Fridays Happy Hour for the month of July.
