Unstoppable Blue Wave
All aboard the Unstoppable Blue Wave!
Join the Democrats Abroad Global Black Caucus and Co-Sponsored by Democrats Abroad Portugal, and the African- American Community for our Unstoppable Blue Wave Midterm Debrief, Fundraiser, and 2024 strategy forecast.
Let’s share knowledge, network together, and have a great time on a river cruise!
Saturday, November 12, 2022, 6 AM Eastern // 11 AM WET // 12 PM CET // 6 PM HKT
The boat is in the water. Whether we win at least two more Senate seats and win the House, or we are thrown back centuries — diminishing the efforts, blood, sweat, and tears of our forebears — we, as a BIPOC community, know that building political power must be an all-year-round, unstoppable effort. This is why we must take time to refuel ourselves with J-O-Y.
All are welcome to attend!
During this hybrid event, you either have the option to participate in the Full Program or only the river cruise.
RSVP for a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow Americans in Lisbon, and meet the Global Black Caucus and DA Portugal Leadership.

Tabernáculo by Hernâni Miguel
"On any given night, Bossa nova bands, copious amounts of wine, African food that spans the diaspora, and a rotating guest list that includes all of Lisbon draw crowds to the wine bar Tabernáculo by Hernâni Miguel.
Miguel is a cultural steward of sorts and his career details his personal philosophy to bridge the African diaspora through art, culture, food and music.
Portugal has emerged as one of those destinations that have increasingly landed on many people’s radar. In central Lisbon’s Bica neighborhood, a wine bar with a 15th-century cave attracts many artists, musicians, intellectuals, expats, and locals each week.
The essence of community is a gift that Hernâni Miguel has created each night at his wine bar, Tabernáculo by Hernâni Miguel. On most nights at Tabernáculo, Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Nat King Cole, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder play over the music system after Udi Fagundis, a Brazilian musician, performs his set." - Cuisine Noir
