In this Issue: Lake Dems Day of Action Wrap-Up ● How to Safely and Directly Contribute to the Harris-Walz Campaign ● ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) ● Upcoming Events |
And what a day it was!!
Lake Dems organized seventeen formal Day of Action events held last Saturday all over Lake County and beyond. We also had many pop-up events. With energy and enthusiasm, hundreds of our Lake County Democrats volunteers engaged voters. We made phone calls, sent texts, wrote 10,000 postcards to swing states (yes, you read that right!), and knocked on doors in Lake County and Wisconsin!
Thank you to our amazing event coordinators and volunteers for making this Day of Action so successful. If you can help us manage similar events in the future: lakedems.org/volunteer.
Events on Saturday, August 10 included:

Also, August 8 Warren Township Dems, August 11 West Deerfield Township Dems, and August 15 Fremont Township Dems held large postcarding events.
We hope you enjoy these photographs from some of our events:
