Happy New Year! It's been one year since President Biden was inaugurated. We had a lot of changes in 2021 and there is still lot of work to be done to get the change we need and action on climate change.
I want to thank my two immediate predecessors, Rosa Foyle and Jese Alamogordo for all their work. We still have a lot of work to do in this midterm year. Our chapter has a lot of plans for 2022. Our next meeting is Tuesday, 25 January at 7:30 pm CET and we hope you join us. We will discuss our plans for the next year and we really need your help. There are lots of simple opportunities to volunteer and help get out the vote. Of course, requesting your absentee is the first and easiest thing you can do to help.
If you are on Facebook, please like our Facebook page. Also, if you use WhatsApp, consider joining our group.
I'm ready to get work, defend our democracy, and win the 2022 midterms and I hope you are too!
