Members of the Club heard three great speakers at Sunday’s event. Each organization has a different take on how to make a difference in politics. The Brady Campaign focuses on lobbying for sensible gun laws. Sister District focuses on local elections all over the country to stop Republican gerrymandering which would impact future national politics. Swing Left matches local Democrats with the closest swing district – in our case Congressman Denham. Look for links below with more information.

He is very conservative, and volunteers are working hard to improve turnout by every means possible. For more information, go to https://swingleft.org/
