Celebrate Pride Month at our regular Monthly Meeting! Doors Open at 6:30pm. Pizza and Refreshments. Note: this isn’t a dress up theme party (unless you want to) it’s just our regular meeting with a twist.
The 1969 Stonewall Riots were a seminal event, and the Dolphins will be marching in the June 17th Stonewall Pride Parade. Purchase your t-shirt today and pick it up at this meeting!
T-SHIRTS: get your all-new Dolphins T-Shirts to wear for the parade. Visit https://www.dolphindems.org/dolphin-democrats-t-shirt/ to pre-order by June 7th. You will be able to pick up your shirts at this meeting, or at Pride from the Dolphins booth.
GUEST SPEAKER: Maxx Fenning will give a History Presentation based on research he has done about Gay Liberation, Queer History and the Civil Rights Movement sparked by Stonewall that is intersectional, community-based and still most capable of inspiring young people to get involved, speak up and to VOTE!
VOLUNTEER: we will also have an opportunity to learn more about ways you can volunteer, join a volunteer team, and help us build our infrastructure for having maximum impact on the 2024 election cycle.
BRING A FRIEND: help grow not just our membership, but our impact.
