members of The Boston Democracy for America Meetup Group:
Tuesday (tomorrow) will be an exciting day for liberals all
over Massachusetts. The Democratic nomination for state
representative is up for grabs in two local districts, each of
which were previously represented by extremely conservative
Democrats. Important issues like health care, public education,
reproductive rights, and marriage equality will be
significantly affected by the winners of tomorrow's primaries.
In each race, one progressive candidate has emerged as the main
contender for victory against the conservative alternative,
garnering endorsements from a broad coalition of progressive
groups. Now is the time to help them out! Here's how.
* Linda Dorcena Forry, in 12th Suffolk (Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Milton)
The campaign needs volunteers today starting at 9:30 am. Meet at the campaign office at 760 Adams Street in Dorchester. On Tuesday, volunteers should go to the Old Dorchester Post in Adams Village (about five doors down from the campaign
office).
