WSDCC – November 17, 2024

17. November 2024 · Comments Off · Categories: Committee News

Dear friend,

Under Shasti Conrad’s leadership, Washington Democrats delivered the strongest Democratic performance in the nation. That’s no small feat – and it’s a testament to her vision, hard work, and the incredible dedication of everyone who joined this fight.

We have a little secret… Today is Shasti’s birthday, and we’re planning a surprise to show her just how much her leadership as Chair means to all of us.

We’re putting together a birthday card filled with messages from folks across Washington, and we’d love for you to help make her day extra special. Will you take a moment to sign her card? We’ll be reading your responses to her as part of the surprise!

SIGN THE B-DAY CARD

Thank you for helping us celebrate Shasti’s incredible leadership and dedication to making Washington a beacon of progress. But remember – this is a secret, so let’s keep it between us for now. Shhh! 🤫

With gratitude,
The Washington Democrats Staff

Iâ€™m thrilled to have you join us as we build a movement focused on affordable housing, equitable communities, and the political power needed to turn our vision into a reality. As organizers, our role is to empower people like you to be leaders in your own communities. Together, weâ€™ll work on having impactful conversations with your neighbors, growing our movement from the grassroots, and bringing more people into this process to win elections and effect real change. Our focus on housing is clear: we aim to overcome the obstacles to creating large-scale communities similar to Habitat for Humanityâ€”communities that give people a stake in where they live and a path to sustainable, affordable homeownership. These challenges wonâ€™t be easy to overcome, but with the strength of a united community, weâ€™re unstoppable. Every Friday, weâ€™ll host an online happy hour event to come together informally, share updates on our accomplishments for the week, discuss our plans for the week ahead, and celebrate our community's spirit and dedication.
