Description:
Downstate Democrats for Change is a Grassroots group formed in November 2005. We have spent 2007 trying to increase our membership, to participate in events that represent our commitment to progressive ideals, and to educate ourselves through the DFA Training Academy that we hosted in Springfield,IL in September. We continue to try to work with our local Democratic Party with some of us serving as precinct committee persons and to network with other groups including community based organization and the labor unions.We are proud that we organized and held the first annual FDR Picnic on October 13, 2007. The IBEW Local was a gold sponsor of the event. We are looking forward to working to put a Democrat back in the White House in 2008. We are always seeking out new members who can and will help us work towards this goal. We are dedicated to the belief that maintaining our democracy requires commitment and activism.
