Join DA France Young Democrats and the DA Paris Chapter for a spooky night of politics and drinks.  All are welcome to join us. Wear a Halloween costume to participate in the costume contest and win a grand prize! RSVP below to let us know you’re coming, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

As we asserted back in July: Infrastructure negotiations likely will lead to make or break legislation for climate change mitigation, millions who are skeptical about our two-party government, and Democrat prospects for the midterms. Since then, our Democratic caucuses in the House and Senate have been unable to deliver. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Build Back Better Act remain stuck in limbo, perhaps just two votes short of success. Join members of proDA to learn more about and discuss the status of the negotiations, the prospects for passage, and the consequences of further delay. We will advocate for action, urging all of us to intensify our efforts. Time is short and so, too, is the patience of those whose needs are not being met!

Please RSVP for the Zoom link.

Global Disability Caucus Edition of Connect the Dots

We’d like you to join us for our first member event on October 30th at 9 am Eastern Time.  At our Global Disability Caucus Edition of Connect the Dots, we’ll share information on how and why we were launched and the mission and objectives as we’ve described them to date.  We’ll also do a brief update and then break up into groups so that you can talk with a member of the founding committee to ask questions, share ideas and explore ways to become involved.

“The Future is Accessible!”  Please RSVP below and join us on the 30th!

We have a number of events in the works and, of course, lots of work to do.  We also look forward to building a wonderful community of supportive, committed and creative people with disabilities and allies dedicated to furthering our shared goals.

While there is no donation required to attend, we hope you’ll consider a donation of $10 to support our work to elect Democrats who will fight to make a better life for ALL Americans. Please click here to donate!

Despite Oktoberfest being cancelled again this year, Democrats Abroad Germany has just the thing for you to celebrate: an online beer tasting!

DA Germany will gather online on Saturday, October 30th at 7pm CEST for the 13th Annual Democrats Abroad Oktoberfest Extravaganza! Instead of meeting in our usually reserved gallery seats, we will meet online from the comforts of our home for an online beer tasting.

Our online Oktoberfest ticket (€46) includes:

• 5 beers 
• 1 tasting glass
• Professional moderation and guidance during the tasting in English from Vagabund Brauerei

The tasting will last approximately 1-1.5 hours. The beer and glass will be sent to you prior to the event from the tasting company. These tasting packages can only be sent to addresses in Germany and EU member states. We encourage other country committees to join in on the fun, but please note that if your shipping address is outside of Germany, ticket costs are €51 (an additional €5 is added to the ticket price to account for shipping costs).

To reserve your tickets, you must complete this registration form (click here to open the form). In order to receive the beer kits in time, you must RSVP by October 11, 2021. The tasting will be held on Zoom and we will send participants the meeting log-in information 48 hours before the event.

**Please remember that Democrats Abroad may only accept donations from U.S. citizens.**

An Oktoberfest Prize Draw will also take place throughout the two Oktoberfest events. Click here for more information.

Come join the DAJ Halloween Costume Party (via Zoom) on Sunday, October 31st from 19:00-21:00 (Tokyo time).
There will be trivia games and prizes for the best political, most original, funniest and scariest costume.
If you wish to join the Halloween fun, please RSVP below for more details and the link to the event.

SUPER SPOOKY HALLOWEEN POSTCARD PARTY

Are you scared yet?

Reading the newspaper can be a terrifying experience these days. The Wiesbaden-Mainz chapter has the answer: feel the fear and write postcards anyway!

Let’s get together to #DefendDemocracy, watch Halloween flicks, and make sure that 2022 does not turn into another nightmare.

The postcards will be sent to our members in January as a reminder to go to www.votefromabroad.org and SEND IN THEIR FPCA for the new calendar year.

Refreshments will be served and postcards and writing implements provided. Costumes optional. Hope to see you there!

WHEN: Sunday, October 31, 2021 (HALLOWEEN) from 2pm-5pm

WHERE: RSVP for private address in central Wiesbaden - If you're not able to join in person, there will be a Zoom room to join virtually! RSVP for Zoom info!

Join us on November 1 to hear what your fellow Wisconsinites Abroad have been working on to date, and what you can do to get involved.
