The Bordeaux Chapter and 2022 Needs You!
posted by Jamie Perosi-Doughty | Bordeaux Chair
February 05, 2022Hello everyone!
2022 is going to be a make or break year for Democrats and for America in general. I know that Midterms are never a fun topic, but I cannot stress enough how important it is for everyone to get involved, get active, and vote this year. Even if you've registered to vote before, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you re-register because a lot of States have changed their voting laws since the 2020 election.
For more more information on how to register to vote from abroad please visit the following webstie: https://www.votefromabroad.org/. It has great information and is easy to follow guidelines for all States.
Also, your Bordeaux chapter is looking for volunteers for phone banking, events, or just overall membership activity. If you have ideas of activities you want to do, or would be interested in attending, please let us know! For a list of February and March's activities, please see the email blast sent out at the beginning of the month. Or if you prefer, you can email us at: [email protected]
It's going to be a challenge, but we can't give up. There is too much at stake to lower our defenses now. So please, contact us, meet up with us, and share your ideas!
Your Bordeaux Chapter and 2022 Needs You!
