Come join other Americans and friends in an outdoor potluck dinner.  We'll enjoy each other's company, share a great meal and cook up ideas for how we here will help tip the balance and win the 2020 election.

August 26 is the 99th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guaranteed women the right to vote.  At this time when women's rights are under assault in the U.S., it's all the more important that we strategize and mobilize ourselves in the coming months.  We need to reach out to the thousands of U.S. citizens in our area to register and vote.  And, we can organize phone banking here for critical campaigns in the States -- including some coming up soon.

For the potluck, please RSVP on this site.  Dems Abroad Hamilton chair David Mivasair will respond with details and ask you about what you'd like to bring.   We'll provide tableware.  We need main dishes, side dishes, salads, drinks, desserts and whatever else is your specialty.

If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please contact David Mivasair.

Please join us for our August chapter meet up!

In addition to talking about upcoming events and preparing for 2020, we'll be talking about what we can do today to fight for positive change in the U.S.

When: 27 August
Arrive 6.00pm for a 6.30 start!
Where: Aurora Rooftop Hotel, 324 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills
You'll find us on level 1, just to the left of the bar area.

The Aurora offer food and drink specials from 5.00pm-7.00pm so feel free to arrive early and enjoy what's on offer.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Monthly Social Meetup - a week delayed!

Hi all, time for our monthly social meetup. There's been a lot to take in over the last month - admittedly not great news from back home.

If you need some like-minded company to chat it through or want to be part of the solution for how we change it for the better, please come by the Wheaty on Tuesday evening - 6:30pm.

We'll aim for the big table or if weather is similar, may gravitate towards the fire. Regardless, we'll be in good company!

In celebration of the bit of summer that is still left, the first half of this month’s afterwork will feature a talk from our member Joel Parthemore on his hike along the Kungsleden in northern Sweden.

The second half will be an open-forum discussion on the debates, The Election, and what’s to come! Bring your questions, concerns, rants, etc., grab some food/drinks at the bar, and come on up to the second floor to talk politics, socialise, and get informed ahead of 2020!

See you there!

Hey everyone! Join DAN partner Drinking Liberally for a lively social pub meet up on the last Tuesday of every month. Do you have opinions to share? Come on out to talk some politics with like-minded people. We look forward to meeting new friends and seeing old friends alike! See you there!

There aren’t many Americans in Fiji, and even fewer are registered with Democrats Abroad in Fiji, but though our numbers may be little, we are fierce.

We are organizing and pizza and postcard event on Wednesday, August 28th at Paradiso Restaurant in Suva and would love for you to attend! Friends and family welcome!

The goal is to provide a shared reading experience and relaxed discussion space for Democrats Abroad members. Please share this event with your American friends and acquaintances in Berlin! As always, we welcome new faces, even if you've never attended a meeting or an event before.
