It's 2024! The Iowa Caucus is less than 1 week away! We are all systems go! If you would like to help us turn out US citizens living in Switzerland this year, please take a look at our open volunteer roles, and let me know if you are interested. In addition to these roles, we are looking for volunteers for our Global Presidential Primary. We will host voting centers in Geneva on March 5th and in Basel and Zürich on March 9th. These events are a lot of fun, but they also require a lot of people power. Please, sign up for a shift!
All of this is to say that we are now in an election year, and if you've been thinking about getting involved with DA, now is the time! Come and check us out at one of our many upcoming events, which you'll find listed below. Hope to see you at one of them soon!
Democratically yours,
