Biden & Buttigieg event videos and CNN Climate Crisis Town Hall, Sept 4.

If you missed the Biden health care town hall and the Buttigieg house party in Cornish (Buttigieg on Trump, Mental Health and Addiction) last weekend, we have linked  sections of the events so you can watch them on Youtube. Try watching a few minutes of both to get a sense of each candidate.

Just heard! CNN has confirmed all 10 Democratic candidates will participate in the CNN Climate Crisis Town Hall on Wednesday, September 4.  Given it will last 7 hours, we will not be organizing a watch party! Read Article for more details.

No August 26 UVD program

ALERT!
Anticipating that we would be so caught up with the Democratic presidential primary debates and events, we decided not to have an August program.
THERE WILL BE NO AUGUST UVD PROGRAM ON AUGUST 26!
Please mark your calendars for our very special UVD September 23 program, Women and Political Participation: Current trends, challenges and opportunities.

And if you are around at the end of this week, Rights and Democracy is running a workshop on Birddogging 101 at the Black Community Center in  Hanover on Friday, August 30 @ 6 p.m.
