    Fighting for Democracy

    Every day brings news that makes us question whether our country will survive with a functioning democracy.  Our courts seem to be the only branch of government willing to do anything to stop Trump and his administration.  At the same time, we are encouraged by our community members hitting the street corners and bridges in our district to fight back against this administration.

    This month we are welcoming a couple speakers to talk about what is happening within our state party and locally with our South Kitsap Education association. Both speakers will bring important information going into 2025 elections.

    Since the days are longer, we are back at Long Lake Park.  We hope to see you there! And bring a friend or two!
