We would like to invite you (lawyers and non-lawyers alike) to an open session with the Democrats Abroad International Counsel and Council of Counsels on Wednesday, October 20th 2021 at 7:00 am US Eastern time. It’s a time to learn what the Office of International Counsel is all about, to come with questions, meet fellow DA lawyers around the world, and talk through challenges many of our regions and country committees are facing.

We would also be happy to run through legal issues and plans facing DA as a global organization. 

The International Council of Counsels is your resource as we do the work of turning the United States blue and building a strong Democrats Abroad global organization.

We hope to see you there! For the Zoom link, please RSVP. Can’t make it? We will have another one, and you can always reach out to us at any time.

Ben Wikler has been the Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin since 2019. In his work, most recently for the progressive group MoveOn.org, Ben has played a leadership role in some of the most critical political fights of recent years—from the successful battle to save the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, to the defense of Dreamers, immigrants, and refugees, to the rise of the Blue Wave of 2018. While working across the country, Ben has always stayed connected to his Wisconsin roots, recently working to help elect the Evers/Barnes ticket and sounding the alarm about the GOP power grab after their victory. Now the Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, he believes we can supercharge grassroots energy in every part of Wisconsin to fight for our progressive agenda, and secure Democratic victories all the way up and down the ticket for years to come. Chair Wikler will speak to us about how Democrats and Wisconsinites Abroad can help these efforts! Join us on Saturday, November 13th (time zones below), to find out how.

Join the Democrats Abroad State Teams to discuss GOTV plans for the 2022 Midterm elections. From determining which races need the most attention to addressing voter support needs, it's all hands on deck to ensure that we keep Congress and flip even more Senate seats.

We'll also look at critical state races from the Gubernatorial to the State Legislatures with a view to key issues and voting rights. It's also a good to chance to look at the redistricting process and see where we will need to focus our efforts after the lines are redrawn.    

In the meantime, join us on Slack to find out what the states are planning and get involved.
