Kitchen Table Talks are small group events held by our members to talk about policy issues that matter to Americans abroad.

Some of the issues you might want to discuss: Climate, Democracy, Economy, Equal Rights, Immigration, Health Care, Poverty, and Taxation.

DA Vancouver's Policy Secretary, Darius Pruss, will be leading the meeting, and your feedback can help shape the 2020 Democrats Abroad Platform.

Make your voice heard! Come out and join us monthly as we write postcards/letters to Congress, the President and DA members. We're coming to you! Every month we will be in a different city. This is not a time to be silent, use your voice. Make sure your representatives are listening. Learn about the upcoming DA events as well, like our primary in March.

Please join us for our last gathering of 2019 to recap what we’ve accomplished over the year and what we look forward to achieving in 2020. We will toast to the new year with glühwein and snacks. We will have a white Donkey gift exchange so bring a wrapped gift of a treasure you have in your home. We will also have some games and surprises as we enjoy each other's company. We look forward to seeing you there before the holiday season is in full swing.

Join DA Zurich for a stroll around the Christmas Market at Münsterhof!

Celebrate the season with a few of your favorite things --- fellow Democrats, cookies, and Christmas caroling. Just bring your favorite homemade Christmas cookies (and the recipe!) to share, along with a festive tin for all the cookies you'll take home, and enjoy the camaraderie and singing. Patricia will provide tea and coffee as well as sweet treats for everyone. Please RSVP in advance so we have an idea how many people will be attending. Send an Email to muenster@democratsabroad.de to receive the address. Hope to see you there!

In December, Political Forum will discuss the specific issue of Climate Change, guided by Jean-Pierre LaRochelle, our formidable monthly discussion leader.  

To explain further:  Every four years Democrats Abroad globally prepares a Platform to represent its policies on a variety of subjects.  Most important in the 2020 Democrats Abroad Platform will be the Environment and Climate Change, a world-crisis concern within the Democratic Party.  A Green New Deal has been presented by Democrats in the House of Representatives. Discussions for our Democrats Abroad 2020 Platform are currently underway and Democrats Abroad France contributes to these discussions actively in drafting the Environment policy planks.

On December 9 we will have a special "Kitchen Table Talk" Click Here for more information on Kitchen Table Talks with input from our own France Environment Policy Group experts and YOU.  Learn more about the subject, and bring your own opinions to the "kitchen table."  We want to hear from you!
