The Democratic National Convention runs from the 17th to the 20th of August, leaving us so much to talk about. Let's get together to discuss how we're feeling about the state of affairs for Black Americans, commemorate the legacy of John Lewis, gauge our feelings about Biden's bid for the presidency and his VP pick, and consider which policy issues we want to see prioritized from day one.

Join us for a Zoom Social/Speakeasy from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. RSVP here on our Eventbrite page to receive the Zoom link. We encourage participants who feel inclined to make a donation to help fund DAUK's voter outreach efforts at this crucial time.

This month, for our virtual speakeasy, we will be holding an EGM to vote in a new Vice Chair.

We thank our previous Vice Chair, Ian Doty, for his service. After the vote, we will be trialing a new meeting format, called "Watching from afar: how are we doing?"

This is a difficult time to be away from our hometowns and our families. We at DA Scotland want to acknowledge these feelings and provide an opportunity for Americans living in Scotland to have a safe space for discussion of events at home. After an introduction to the concept, we will break into small groups for in depth discussion about the current state of affairs at home with other Americans. RSVP here 

Our new Native Affairs Group will host a discussion about the recent McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court decision - a landmark case establishing that much of Eastern Oklahoma remains Native American territory.

We are joined by Dr. Torivio Fodder (Taos Pueblo) to discuss the far-reaching implications of the decision on other tribes across the US. A native of Walters, OK, Dr. Fodder is a graduate of the Indigenous People’s Law and Policy Program at the University of Arizona. He also holds a J.D. from the University of Arizona, and an A.B. from Dartmouth College. RSVP here.
