Fundraiser with special guest, Greta Neubauer, minority leader of the WI State Assembly

Democrats Abroad Sweden is thrilled to announce that Greta Neubauer, the minority leader of the Wisconsin State Assembly, will join us virtually on Wednesday, March 20th from 6:30-8 pm (Sweden) for an important conversation about how we stop Trump and his fellow MAGA Republicans in 2024. Neubauer has been on the frontlines of saving democracy in the key battleground state of Wisconsin.

On February 19^th, Democratic Governor Tony Evers signed new legislative district maps into law, which replaced what many considered the most gerrymandered maps in the country. This was only possible because Democrats in the Wisconsin State Assembly held off a Republican supermajority by two seats. Neubauer was key to this victory.

Neubauer will share her experiences in Wisconsin and talk strategy in 2024 with us. She will be joined by our very own Alex Lange, former Chair of DAS, who will talk in person about why 2024 is such a pivotal election, one that will shape the trajectory of the world for decades to come. 

This is a fundraising event to support our get out the vote (GOTV) efforts, and there are several levels on which you can support us. See the ticketing information below.

This event will be hosted in the home of a local DAS member with drinks and snacks. After signing up, you will be notified about the event’s location in Stockholm-Södermalm and receive a link to join us online. If you are joining remotely from outside Sweden, remember that Sweden has not yet switched to daylight savings time. So, the event time is 1:30pm EST (in D.C.) and 12:30pm CST (in Wisconsin).

Your continued support will help us build our organization locally - throughout Sweden - so that we achieve high voter turnout abroad and assure that Democrats win in the next election!
