I spend the weekend at the Democratic Women's Club of Florida
annual convention.
My first time there and what a blast!
So many great speakers and breakout sessions - on immigration, how the ACLU is handling FL's Amendment 4 (returning citizens voting rights) debacle, communicating in a diverse country. Plus the opportunity to meet and talk to like minded women (and the men who support us) from all over the state.
Highlights: An award given to a 93 YO civil rights activist (I don't recall her name, sorry). She spoke for a moment and said, "I never knew there was a club for Democratic ladies! I'm going to go home and join my local club for the Democratic ladies!"
Luncheon speech by the great-granddaughter of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. Some nice family stories and remembrances.
And the piece de resistance - keynote address by none other than Jill Wine Banks, Watergate prosecutor and MSNBC contributor! She brought the house down.

Sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience! I would love to have the opportunity to do something like that one day! 
It was an exhausting couple of days. But so worth it. 
state (back to) blue! Things are looking up in this state right now with Stacey Abrams heading up Fair Fight for the vote and Fair Count for the 2020 Census. Jon Ossoff has declared for Johnny Isakson's seat and other progressives are challenging (GOP dirtbag) David Perdue for his Senate seat. We are on your side, neighbor mcar!
What pin was Jill Wine Banks wearing?
