Take Back the Court! Chelsey Davidson speaks with ProDAG
We've heard so much in recent weeks about the threat the Supreme Court poses to reproductive rights, gun violence prevention laws, climate change, the separation of church and state, and other fundamental human rights and democratic principles. How did we get here, and how much do you really know about the Court as an institution? Join DA Germany’s Progressive Caucus on July 11 at 1:00 p.m. EST / 7:00 p.m. CEST for a conversation with Chelsey Davidson from the Take Back the Court Foundation to learn more. The discussion will range from a general overview of the court's history, the court expansion movement, and insight into the recent end-of-term decisions. This will be a great opportunity for us to learn as a community and explore what action we can take to defend our democratic rights.
Democrats Abroad Oktoberfest Extravaganza 2022
What started out 14 years ago as a Democrats Abroad “FUN-draiser” is now one of DA’s premier events worldwide. Come to Munich’s Oktoberfest, with 100 Democrats from all around the world, in one of the most traditional beer tents - and finally in-person after two years!
Join us on Sunday, October 2, 2022 in Munich, Germany for the Annual Democrats Abroad Oktoberfest Extravaganza! This is a fun event for DA members from around Germany and Europe to come together and have a good time.
We have reservations in the Festhalle Schottenhamel for tables in the "Gallerie", specifically an area upstairs so that we are above the main crowd, from 11am until 2:15pm.
Get your tickets now and enjoy an early bird special pricing. Until July 31st, tickets are $70. Starting on August 1st, ticket prices will increase to $85. We are also offering 10 student-priced tickets for $60.
Each ticket includes:
- A reserved seat in the “Gallerie”
- A half roasted chicken (there are vegetarian options available)
- Two liters of Spaten beer (there are other beverage options, too)
- A 10-euro coupon for other purchases
To reserve your tickets, please RSVP and send in your donation.
In addition to the Oktoberfest celebration on Sunday, you can already sign-up for a walking tour of the Munich Altstadt on Saturday, October 1st. Information about additional events will be announced soon.
Interested in a homestay in Munich or hosting a DA visitor? Fill out the appropriate Google form. We’ll do our best to match guests with a wonderful host. We cannot guarantee you will be assigned a homestay. This is dependent on volunteer sign-up.
