Ward 19 Democratic Party Rallies Local Residents to Get Involvedin Battleground Presidential, Senate and House Campaigns Nationwide
August 22, 2024 – Jamaica Plain/Roslindale
Our extraordinary future President just stepped off the DNC stage and now its up to us. This IS the most important election of our lifetime and Michelle Obama told us to Do Something! Boston Ward 19 Democratic Party is here to help. You are invited to Do Something!, a gathering to help you get involved in winning the November election. Do Something! will be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2024; 7-9 pm at Top Mix Bar and Restaurant, 365 Centre Street, JP MA 02130 Register for Do Something And please share this message with your networks.
Voters in seven Presidential battleground states – Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia – will determine the future of our country. President Harris and Vice President Walz will need a Democratic Senate and House to get things done. There are critical Senate races in five of those states (Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania) plus two additional states (Ohio, Montana), and about 30 important House races scattered nationwide.
It’s absolutely critical that Democrats take back control of the House and hold onto the Senate and White House. Any issue you care about – climate change, women’s control of their own healthcare, voting rights, democracy itself – can only be addressed IF Democrats control the federal government in Washington, D.C.
We feel momentum moving in our direction but there’s work to be done. This is no time to sit back and let others take care of it. We need all hands on deck for the next 75 days.
But what can we, living in a Blue Bubble in a Blue state, do? PLENTY! The Ward 19 Democratic Party will help you get involved. We’re hosting Do Something! on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, 7-9 pm. Local active volunteers from organizations working on battleground elections will participate. Hear their stories and sign-up. They’re ready to put you to work for whatever you can do:

Join us! ‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’
In memory of DSC Member Sarah-Ann Shaw, several events focusing on service and civic engagement will be held across Boston on June 20th.
A Book Drive will be held at the Boston City Year headquarters, at 287 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02116
The event planners are hoping for 50 volunteers and at least 300 donated books
From the organizers: “Join us as we host a book drive and perform volunteer activities. We will be building five small free library boxes and packing kits for Boston’s children to increase summer reading opportunities. Bring new or gently used books or donate funds for a specific book that is suggested by the Boston Public Library for children’s summer reading. It is a wonderful way to honor a woman who was dedicated to lifelong literacy, and who viewed education as a road to achievement and a path to equity.”
**UPDATE – Voter Registration Drives have been postponed until September 17**
You can sign up for either volunteer opportunity at this link.
On September 3, voters will take to the polls for the Democratic Primary. Important decision will be made on the ballot, including Governor’s Council, Suffolk Superior Court Clerk, and Supreme Judicial Court Clerk.
Ward 19 co-hosted a candidate forum on June 4, 2024, with Wards 4, 5, 10, and 11.
