Wilkes County Needs A Democratic HQ
Wilkes County Democrats haven't had a permanent headquarters as long as I remember. As a kid, it just seemed like Forester's Nu-Way was the HQ because of the critical mass of signs my grandfather would put up. During the bulk of my lifetime the Democratic Party has been, well, transient. We pool our funds long enough to get us through an election, but then after a few months, we'll let the building go in order to conserve funds. It's not always easy being a Democrat in a red county.
But we feel like the time has come for the big ask. We need a reliable meeting space, an organizing hub, a place to store our supplies. With organizing at the local level more important than ever before, we need citizens of Wilkes County to know there is a place they can go for information and activism. We need a permanent HQ to be that place.
We are ideally looking for something local in the $500 - $700 a month range, and we need recurring monthly contributors to help us budget and plan for the long-term. Municipal elections are just around the corner, and 2018 will be a huge midterm election year for us. Turn out is historically low for midterms, but with a visible and reliable presence, Democrats can make some changes in Congress.
We are hoping you can help us procure a headquarters that we can all be proud of and that is a resource for the entire community. Even a donation of $5 per month is something we can count on to help. Visit our Act Blue Page to help with this important initiative. Thanks!
