Good Morning Keys Dems,
We had a pretty good turnout for Making Good Trouble in Key West on Saturday! We honored John Lewis and continued to defend our democracy! We rallied and spoke with clarity: our voices will not be silenced. Shouting out a huge "Thank you" to all of our community partners, participants, entertainers, and organizations who made our event a success; Jillian, Key West National Organization for Women, Jason Smith, Queer Keys, Mango Troubadours, Gina Masserati, Rose Diversity, The Key West Business Guild, Key West Immigration Support Network, KW Police Chief, and Rich in Spirit.
As promised the texting campaign to registered Monroe County Democrats will be starting this week. If you are already registered to Vote by Mail, you will be spared a text from us. If you aren’t already registered to Vote by Mail, we will be gently reminding you to get that done!
