Come join us on Friday, March 8^th for our celebration of International Women’s Day.

The holiday has been celebrated for over 100 years and has become an occasion to celebrate women and reflect on the rights that have been won and what remains to be accomplished. Over the course of the evening, we will discuss the status of the women’s rights movement through various mediums, with a special focus on getting the ERA passed!

When: Friday, March 8^th from 19:00 to 21:00

Upcoming Events

Every First Saturday of the Month,  10:00-12:00, Pension Schmidt in Münster – New to Democrats Abroad? We meet every first Saturday of the month at the very cozy and (most importantly) discussion inducing Cafe Pension Schmidt, which is located in the beautiful historic center of Münster! As diverse as the Democratic Party is, we welcome everyone, even those who don't necessarily adhere to any party. Come meet other Americans and join the discussion.

Bielefeld Monthly Meeting, March 7^th 18:00 at Univarza – Looking to meet up with local Americans in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere? Look no further. Our Bielefeld Precinct will start meeting on a regular basis as we gear up for primary season, next year’s general election, and whatever else the Administration throws at us. Featured topic at this month's meeting: Medicare for All.

Receive Local DA Event Notices

Looking to keep up with our ever growing range of activities? Other than receiving the monthly newsletter, there are a few additional ways to keep up with our latest event announcements.

DA Münster/Osnabrück Facebook Page (NEW) - our brand new public face on Facebook is here.

DA Münster/Osnabrück Private Facebook Group – simply follow the link and ask to be admitted. Here we not only post event notices, but we also engage in private discussion about the topics of day among friends.

WhatsApp Announcement Group – if you aren’t on Facebook but use WhatsApp, we can add you to our events announcements group. Here we will ONLY post event notices! To join, send an email to DAG-muenster@democratsabroad.org.

The midterm elections are fast approaching, but it is not too late to request your ballot! If you have not done so yet, now is the time to act. Go to VoteFromAbroad.org and simply answer the questions, print out your form, sign it and mail it. Done!

Just as important, it is not too late to help get out the vote. There are almost 10,000 people signed up with Democrats Abroad Germany, and it is our goal to call each and every one of them to remind them to request their ballot. To do so we need an army of volunteers to make calls. And it is not too late to help out. Just go to democratsabroad.org/voter_support_team and simply follow the directions to get started.

What’s that you say? You are intimidated by calling people? We’ve got you covered. Last week we held two training sessions, one each in Münster and Osnabrück, where we got nine people up and running with phone banking. None of them had ever done it before. All of them said how much fun they had after it was done, and each promised to keep on calling on their own.

Our next training will be:

• Wednesday, September 19^th from 5:00 to 7:30 in Münster (RSVP: DAG-muenster@democratsabroad.org for directions)

• Friday, September 21^st from 4:30 to 7:00 in Bielefeld (RSVP: DAG-muenster@democratsabroad.org for directions)
