Thanks to everyone who, in the last few months:

• Knocked on nearly 23,000 doors
• Contributed financially
• Planned, attended, or sponsored one of our events, including Donuts with Dems, our annual banquet, or the Selma screening
• OR all of the above!

Momentum is on our side, and there are three weekends left before the election. Let’s finish strong! 💪

Meet us for the roadside rally this Saturday, October 17th at the Courthouse in Beaver at 10 am. Bring your signs to encourage our neighbors to vote early or to make a plan to vote on November 3rd.

Saturday is a busy day in Beaver. Please show we are good neighbors. There is a Halloween event in the gazebo park at noon, so we will wrap up the rally around 11:45 am. The surface parking lot is off limits because the farmers market runs from 10 am to 1 pm. Parking is available in the parking garage next to the Courthouse and on the street around the parks. Consider visiting the farmers market and the local businesses before or after attending the rally.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

After the rally, we also invite you to visit us at the New Brighton Fall Festival on Saturday, October 17th from 12 – 6 pm. A shuttle will run from New Brighton High School. We will post the location of our table on 3rd Avenue on our social media pages Saturday.

** If you can spend any time volunteering at the table with Darlene, please call or text Sheila at 724-601-2267.
