August Update from DA Caribbean Islands 🌴


🗳️ Midterm elections are nearing! Do you have questions about voting from the Caribbean or need help registering as an absentee overseas voter?  Come join us EVERY Monday at 12 noon ET/AST for our half-hour weekly online Voter Assistance and Resistance Roundtable session. We have certified overseas voting assistants to answer your questions and help you register. 

We will also share our Resistance Action of the day that you can take to make a difference. Everyone is welcome. 

Time:  12:00 noon - 12:30pm Eastern/Atlantic time, (10:00am - 10:30am Central time)

To receive the zoom link, RSVP here: https://www.democratsabroad.org/infocaribbeanislandsdemocratsabroadorg/monday_resistance_roundtables_20260817

The zoom link is the same every week, so you don’t need to RSVP every time.  Once you have the link, you can join at the same link every week.

 

📣  We also meet online on the third Wednesday of each month at 5:00pm Eastern/Atlantic time (3:00pm Central) — and we feature a special guest speaker every other month! Recent guest speakers have included Randi Weitzner on Voter Assistance Training and Grace Carryer on Young Voters’ Perspectives. In April, to celebrate Earth Day, we hosted a screening of the documentary “The White House Effect.”

Join us on August 19th to hear Missy McGinnes from Red Wine and Blue and learn how that group organizes to defeat extremism. All DA members are welcome.
