La Lucha Continúa held an exciting and educational event on July 8, where we learned from Julia Bryan about how to Take Action with Democrats Abroad. Our members and leaders tell us they want to do more to stand up against the rising tide of authoritarianism, but they don't know how, so we invited Julia to talk about a new Democrats Abroad global initiative called Take Action. In case you missed the event, or if you want to review and refresh your memory, the recording is available here: https://youtu.be/5lLvLVIIpFo
For more information on the Take Action initiative, including news and events, see this page. Be sure to sign up for the emails, if you haven’t already. These are full of background information, scripts for calling and emailing, and all the inspiration you need to stay engaged. Note that Democrats Abroad will never send you spam, only the information that you opt in to receive.
