SUMMARY:Rowan County Senior Democrats Meeting - January 21st at 1pm
DESCRIPTION:Join Senior Democrats on Tuesday\, Jan. 21st at 1:00 pm at RCDP Headquarters\, 1504 West Innes Street\, Salisbury\, NC 28144. Chair Geoffrey Hoy will lead a book talk based upon what he’s been reading following the November election. Attendees are encouraged to bring your recommendations and help us all become more knowledgeable as we enter 2025. We can’t change minds if we don’t have the knowledge to help us move forward with democratic values in the face of MAGA and a Republican majority in both houses as well as our Red Rowan and red NC State Legislature. \nChair Hoy will share two books from his reading – Stolen Pride\, Loss\, Shame\, and the Rise of the Right by Arlie Russell Hochschild. There’s lots to be learned from Eastern Kentucky! The second book\, The Quiet Damage\, Qanon and the Destruction of the American Family\, by Jesselyn Cook is a compassionate\, yet terrifying\, description of the descent into an alternate reality by folks\, friends\, and family that you may know.\nSee you soon and we encourage you to bring a friend who leans blue!

SUMMARY:Salisbury Debate Watch: Tues\, October 1st\, 8-10:30 pm – at the RCDP HQ
DESCRIPTION:Join your neighbors and enjoy watching Vice Presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz take on J.D. Vance in a nationally televised debate. We will have another JOYFUL Debate Watch Party at Rowan County Democratic Party Headquarters as Walz confirms that We’re Not Going Back!  –  8:00 – 10:30 PM – 1504 W Innes St.\, Salisbury\, NC. \n\n\n\n  \nBring a beverage of your choice and a snack to share. All of those voting for Harris/Walz are welcome to join us as we watch Tim Walz show the nation that character matters and can win in 2024.

SUMMARY:Senior Democrats\, Tuesday\, July 16th\, Revisiting Project 2025
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Evelyn Uddin-Khan and RCDP Chair Geoffrey Hoy will lead the program\, using videos and research to explain the danger of the Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership plan.\n\nThe planned program will run from 1-2 PM. Doors will remain open until 2:30 PM for anyone wishing to continue the discussion.\n\n\n\nAll Democrats and Unaffiliated voters are invited to learn more about this conservative plan which is a blueprint to fundamentally change the way our government works. This plan would undo many of the safeguards that are currently provided for our personal freedoms and our way of life as Americans. It is so radical that former President Trump is now denying it\, proclaiming that he “knows nothing about it” even though some of his former staffers participated in writing it and his campaign secretary is in recruitment ads. Trump’s lies continue and still matter.\n\n\nWHEN: Tuesday\, July 16\, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm\n\nWHERE: Rowan County Democratic Party – 1504 West Innes Street\, Salisbury\, NC 28144
