Are you interested in advocating for your home state or a state you want support? Do you want to help improve voting rights for citizens abroad and back home? Would you like to build strong connections to local organizers? Are you concerned about what's going on in state legislatures? 

Then come out and meet our State Outreach Teams and see how you can get involved!

Several states already have teams forming - we will be introducing initiatives for voters abroad from Texas, Arizona, Georgia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and hope to find volunteers willing to start up groups for other states. We'll share strategies and information on how to help keep or turn these states blue and what you can do to from here in Germany.

Please RSVP for the Zoom link! We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, April 25th at 3pm!

If you have any questions or are interested in starting or contributing to a group from your voting state, get in touch with the DAG GOTV Coordinator, Teresa Ritterhoff at [email protected]

DA Hamilton-Burlington is a chapter of DA Canada, the official country committee for US Democrats living in Canada. Watch this space for upcoming announcements of meetings and events - we have events planned throughout the year, and encourage anyone interested in participating to get in touch.

Hundreds of American citizen volunteers across Canada are working to educate all eligible U.S. voters on their right to vote and how to get their ballots to vote in every election. That includes Canadians who were born in the U.S. and those born in Canada to an American parent(s), who therefore have the right to vote. Americans living in Canada CAN deliver the difference in close elections.

Go to VoteFromAbroad.org today to register for your ballot.

Join our chapter Facebook group here to share info and opinion and keep up with our activities. If you have any questions or suggestions or would like to help Democrats Abroad reach U.S. citizens in our area, please contact us.

DEBATE WATCH -- JUNE 26 & 27

Everyone is invited to join Dems Abroad to watch and discuss the first debates among Democratic candidates for the Presidential nomination.  The top twenty candidates will present in the debates, with ten each night.  These first debates are widely expected to shape the field of candidates for the rest of campaign.   

We'll gather at the George Hamilton restaurant at 152 King Street West at Bay Street in downtown Hamilton.   Doors open at 8:30 pm; the debates are scheduled to begin at 9 pm.  American citizens will be able to register to vote at the event both nights -- and to join Democrats Abroad if they wish.  Drinks and pub food will be available at cost.  The event itself is open to the public at no charge.

Today (June 12) is the final deadline for nationally recognized polls which are needed by the Dem hopefuls to qualify for inclusion in the debates.  The final information on who will be included in the debates will be available tomorrow.  To learn more, see https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-first-democratic-debate-deadline-is-almost-here-whos-in-and-whos-out/
