The Hamburg and Northern Germany chapter of Democrats Abroad joined 2,700 attendees at the vibrant Lübeck Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebration on Saturday, August 17th, 2024.

The Hamburg and Northern Germany chapter of Democrats Abroad appeared with a GOTV stand on all three days of Christopher Street Day in Hamburg, August 2nd through the 4th, 2024.

Within two days, Democrats in our region could be seen and heard on five different news media.

On Saturday, June 15th 2024, members of our chapter traveled to Flensburg for a walking tour led by precinct captain Bobby Winkler, and a guided tour of the Flensburg brewery. The event was a fundraiser for Democrats Abroad, so it was more about the fun outing than politics and GOTV -- although, as always, we had our eyes open for Americans to whom we could hand out VoteFromAbroad cards. Never miss the chance!
