Part of what we are doing with Swing Left is to engage and recruit volunteers through social events because hey, do we not all need a little emotional support and good times during 2018? But also, meeting other people who are working to fix the country is just...comforting, inspiring and wonderful.
Jenna Howard, one of our Swing Left Portland organizers, worked with Indivisible Bangor for months to pull together a truly beautiful potluck in Brewer on Saturday. We celebrated our volunteer efforts (over 500 doors knocked for the Jared Golden campaign Saturday), ate great food, and listened to live 60s protest music from Larry and Leslie Latour.
We raised some $$ for the Golden campaign, but more importantly, forged connections and broadened the group of people who will be inspired to knock doors and make phone calls this fall. This is how we win!
Also, I have to say, big potlucks are just really fun!
