We gather to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the late John Lewis, on the anniversary of the March on Washington in 1963, when both men spoke, and Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" oration.

One of our Toulouse members was present in 1963 at that speech and she will speak about her memories of that historic day.

We who gather on this 57th anniversary will stand in a socially-distanced circle and read aloud that speech, just as we did three years ago after the neo-Nazi event in Charlottesville. 

Bring a bell, so at the refrain, "Let FREEDOM ring...." you can join in!

We will also honor the late civil rights leader and representative John Lewis.  There will be a minute of silence for him, Dr. King and George Floyd--and others whose names are not so well known. Those who wish are invited to take a knee for the silent tribute.

Please join us!

Democrats Abroad Chapters in Lyon and Strasbourg will be running parallel events on the same day.

Compans-Caffarelli is served by the Toulouse metro, line B and there is a parking lot just adjacent.

Join us for an event focused on Voter Suppression--and how to combat it. This is the big issue of the 2020 elections. We will  screen the documentary "Capturing the Flag" with the two filmmakers (former Channel 13 TV people from Manhattan) and they will lead an informative and inspirational Q & A following the film (which runs 72 minutes).

It's free, though if you can donate a little, it's appreciated.

Get informed. Activate your citizenship--and above all, register and request your ballot at www.VoteFromAbroad.org/.

Co-sponsored by the DA Global Black Caucus,LGBTQ+ Caucus and the Women's Caucus.

This is a recurring event.

Yoga is so popular today for its many benefits it offers the mind, body and soul. But maybe you've never tried yoga. Or maybe you've tried and thought it wasn't for you? Yoga is for everyone, and this Radiant Warrior vinyasa flow set is perfect for you. If you are already a confirmed yogi, come along for a slow flow that gets back to the basics. 

If you have the following, please bring it to class: a yoga mat or some kind of mat that doesn't slip, a couple of yoga blocks or thick books (Harry Potter style), a strap or fabric belt or scarf, a small pillow or cushion or towel, and some water to drink.

Gretchen has done yoga for many years and has completed the 200 hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Certification with Yoga Farm Ithaca. She is chair of Democrats Abroad Grenoble, national Volunteer Coordinator, and teaches English at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry. She votes in Maine.

This event is A Feelgood Fundraiser for Democrats Abroad France, and benefits our critical 2020 "Get Out the Vote" Efforts this Fall. Any contribution is welcome; 10 EUR per person is suggested. Please give here. Thank you!
