Northside DFA Open Monthly Meeting

Interested in progressive ("non-machine") democratic politics? Want to meet other engaged, politically-active folks? 

Democracy is hard, because it demands an engaged citizenry – and with so many pressures in our lives, it’s easy to let that engagement
slide.  Yet without that engagement, we get a broken political system filled with people determined to prove... just that. Every primary challenge reminds incumbents that they hold that seat by the grace of the 
voters; every hard-fought General Election challenge gives us a chance to

switch a seat from red to blue, with the hope that it moves our progressive

ideals just a little bit forward.

Our next meeting is next Tuesday, November 12th, we’ll hear from:


·   Two candidates for 8th District Cook County commissioner race: Luis Arroyo, Jr and Edwin Reyes (incumbent)

·  MORE candidates running for the 40th state rep seat: Bart Goldberg, Wendy Jo Harmston, and Jaime Andrade, Jr. (invited). Then a discussion of all six (or seven) candidates and endorsement vote!
