We hope you are enjoying the summer. Here's the latest from the Frankfurt and Greater Hessen Chapter of Democrats Abroad Germany.
Greetings Fellow-Americans in Frankfurt and Greater Hessen!
We hope you are enjoying the summer. For those who did not have a chance to watch the latest Jan 6 committee hearings on July 21, I urge you to listen to Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s closing statement.
“We the people must demand more of our politicians and ourselves.
Oaths matter. Character matters. Truth matters.
If we do not renew our faith and commitment to these principles, this great experiment of ours, our shining beacon on a hill will not endure.” (Watch it here)

OTHER EVENTS WORTH LOOKING INTO….
Phonebanking Training - July 28 at noon-1:30pm EDT | RSVP
Thursday, July 28, 2022 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada), Virtual on Zoom
New and experienced phonebankers welcome! CallHub calling to start again in mid-August. Be ready!
Amplify your vote by getting more DA members to the polls. Phonebanking is one of the easiest and most effective ways of reaching DA members and getting them to get their ballots and vote.
Our first priority will be calling DA members who vote in battleground states. Once through those lists, we'll call the rest of our members and possibly other US voters abroad. Let’s build momentum and win these critical races! Join this session to learn or review the why and how of DA phonebanking. We'll explain the sign-up system, explore CallHub and do a few demo calls."
Hosted by Americas region and ALL WELCOME!
