Aug 10 meeting w/Falls Church DFA group

Written by: edrie irvine on Aug 8, 2006 1:32 AM EDT

Linked to groups: Arlington/Alexandria Democracy for America

As part of our newly reactivated DFA Arlington(/Alexandria) program, we will join the Falls Church Area DFA Link this Thursday, August 10, to discuss plans for the Iraq War Forum at the end of September. A short movie will also be presented.

Falls Church Area DFA meets at Stacy's Coffee Parlor, 709 W. Broad Street, in downtown Falls Church City. 7-9 p.m. [For those traveling by metro, from the West Falls Church Metro take the 28A (King St Station) at 6:48p to arrive by 7 at Stacy's.]

You may have noticed also that I put the Alexandria part of our title in parentheses. One of our long-time members is interested in having meetings in Alexandria on a regular basis. So we are considering two groups--one for Arlington, one for Alexandria--that will meet separately for the most part but work jointly on programs or parties. Of course, folks are always welcome to attend either group or both! as your time and energy permit. More information on times and places will be coming in our next message.

In the meantime, please think about these topics for our group:

-- Iraq Forum in September: this is a national effort by DFA.

-- GOTV activities: in particular, focusing on registering and mobilizing the largest group of Democratic voters who turned out in low numbers in 2004--single women of all ages.

-- Taking Back Our Elections: active participation in and meaningful oversight of our elections.

I look forward to meeting you all soon.
