Thanks to everyone who came out to support the AAPI Caucus of DA Germany this past weekend. It was our very first in-person event after our caucus was established and we were excited to spend time with one another. The AAPI Caucus is small, but we hope to become bigger and stronger in the next few years.

During the retreat, we focused on what types of programs we would like to plan, how do we find other AAPI members, and collaborate with DA chapters, specifically within Europe and at the global level. Another goal is to focus on AAPI outreach and get out the vote for 2024. The AAPI vote is critical, and our voices are powerful!

We also got to know one another and discussed the important issues that we face in our communities in the US and Germany. The retreat brought us closer, and we also had fun exploring different Asian restaurants around Berlin! We look forward to our next event and meeting everyone soon!

“Walls turned sideways are bridges.” (Angela Davis)

The German Black Caucus strongly upholds that Black Issues are Human Rights Issues.

• The German Black Caucus advocates for legislators, legislation, policies, and programs that promote the establishment and protection of Human Rights.

• The German Black Caucus aspires to unite and support people of color living in Germany while building coalitions and relationships with other Democrats Abroad Germany caucuses, finding the common denominator that, at its root, addresses and benefits all. 

• The German Black Caucus is dedicated to a Democrats Abroad organization and society built on human dignity, compassion, and respect. 

• The German Black Caucus is open to all Democrats Abroad Germany members who believe in, uphold, and are willing to protect Human Rights.

• The German Black Caucus aligns with the vision and mission of the United States Congressional Black Caucus. 

• The German Black Caucus is committed to getting out the Black vote and creating concrete, visible change to further Human Rights.

All Are Welcome to join our caucus as we prepare to TUNE-IN and TURN off for Earth Hour 2022!

What is Earth Hour? 

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF. The event takes place annually to encourage people around the world to turn off all non-essential lights and electrics for an hour. The event will happen between 20:30 to 21:30 on the 26th of March 2022.

 The goal is to help raise awareness around the globe of our energy use, consumption, impact, and long-lasting effects on the environment. Earth Hour is a movement to help our future and encourage urgent change around the world & our goal is to get as many people to participate during that hour and take some time just before to remind ourselves how LITTLE things can make a BIG difference and have some fun!

Our Plan

You are welcome to join us the hour before as we share with our attendees a bit about the history of Earth Hour,  get to know one another a bit better & have some fun with a Photo/Memory Game, and let our imaginations run wild with a bit of brainstorming for our upcoming themes for Earth Day 2022.

Can’t join us but want to join in? Visit https://www.earthhour.org/ to find out how you & your family can take part!

The Germany Progressive Caucus (ProDAG) is building a space for education and action on political issues from a progressive perspective, focusing on shared values of transparency, accountability, and equality while also recognizing the American people’s diversity of experience.

Under the motto “Educate, Agitate, Organize,” ProDAG always translates education into action. We advocate for a greater understanding of important concepts such as systemic racism, economic and labor equity, climate action, environmental justice, the military-industrial complex, healthcare access and reform, the corrupting influence of unrestrained money in politics, and more. We take what we learn together with other caucuses and fight for greater equity within Democrats Abroad, the Democratic Party, the U.S., and across the globe.

Are you interested in getting to know the Progressive Caucus? Contact us at [email protected]. We’d love to get to know you!

Hit the Ground Running by Malaika Kusumi

Shocked, sad, scared, determined: just a few of the one-word responses to the Academy Award documentary nominee Dorothy Fadiman’s and Emmy/ Peabody documentary winner Susan Koch’s documentary films When Abortion was Illegal: Untold Stories and Roe at Risk, shown at the DAG Women’s Caucus meeting held on March 27. 

The intimate discussion rounds between participants underlined and amplified horrifying realities:  eradication of abortion rights is just the tip of the iceberg setting a dangerous precedent to the loss of other human rights, it is a human issue not a female issue. The common consensus reached: we have to act; we have to do something, and every little contribution has a tremendous impact. 

To this end the women’s caucus is asking for everyone’s support. Make a short 1–2-minute video about why these rights must be protected, your views on the topic or your experiences. You do not have to be a woman to participate as this affects us all. There are many tiny actions you can take. 

March is over but the fight has just begun. Check out the global women caucus YouTube contribution, give it a like and share it on your media platforms. You can sign up for June 18 women’s hybrid event (live in Paris) bring some friends …again non-gender based! Everyone is welcome and everyone is needed. 

Over 29 states now restrict or outlaw abortions. Put a stop to the madness. Defend our democracy. Stop accepting things that you think you can’t change and start changing things that you cannot accept.

Stepping up to the Plate: Currently the DAG Women’s Caucus (DAGWC) is enthusiastically underway with the Women’s Global Caucus in preparation for the National Women's History Alliance's theme of Women's History Month 2022: Providing Healing, Promoting Hope. 

The event will be on Sunday, March 27th at 5 p.m. and will focus on the topic of reproductive rights: where we were, where we are, where we want to be and what we can do! Reproductive rights are hanging in the balance, losing those is only the tip of the iceberg. 

The DAG Women’s Caucus will initiate Project 3-I  Outreach:Inform, Inspire, Involve as a pre-June event promotional activity. In honor of Women’s month  a virtual presentation of Forgotten Women, Women We Should Know and Women We Can’t Forget will be presented to the Middle Hessen Precinct on March 14. 

The DAGWC plans to visit as many German chapters as possible with the high hopes of engaging women and their talents for the June Anniversary celebration.  Please reach out to [email protected] to set a date for our visit to your chapter.  And don’t forget to RSVP for the March 27th event!

We are good, but together we are better.
