We encourage everyone that can to donate a little time and energy to the various rescues and shelters in DuPage County. A donation of 10 dollars goes a long way to help a rescue dog (or cat for that matter). This month we will continue our PC training, notary training, and refresher courses in preparation for petition season. It is imperative that we take the lead and make this process as smooth as possible. There are some that believe that activism and patriotism live and die on social media - that is not our way. We believe that while social media can be used to elevate a cause, it is the boots on the ground, voices in the ear, and the visibility of our people in the real world that make an impact. If you want to know how to obtain resources to be a better precinct Committeeperson or volunteer, which candidates need assistance, and how we can expand or vote by mail and early voting efforts - let us know at info@dupagedemocrats.com! We have solutions and we have heart. Thank you  Chairman Ken Mejia-Beal  Community Engagement for the DuPage County Strategic Plan DuPage County is creating a new strategic plan and would like to hear from residents on their priorities through 2029. The strategic plan will serve as a blueprint for the next five years, shaping the County’s mission, vision, and financial planning. You can learn more about the strategic planning process, fill out a survey identifying your priorities, and provide input on the plan at the County's Social Pinpoint page below. The information collected through this site will be used to create a long-term vision, strategic priorities, goals and objectives, and performance metrics to define the County’s direction and measure progress. Thank you in advance for your participation! Details Register The Beer Battle of Minocqua: A Progressive Business Fights to Survive in Wisconsin Recent DuPage Dem. keynote speaker Kirk Bangstad, brewer of progressive beer, wine and WOKE coffee, is fighting to keep his Minocqua Brewing Company and its all important Wisconsin superpac in operation. A Wednesday, July 26th hearing held by the Oneida County Planning and Development Committee turned contentious and was cut short, leaving the future of Minocqua Brewing Company undecided. At issue are numerous permit violations and the town of Minocqua's many roadblocks, hampering the popular tourist destination's ability to serve their progressive leaning customers. The Minocqua Brewing Company is simply fighting for its right to have an outdoor space to serve its customers, like almost every other bar, restaurant, and taproom in Wisconsin is allowed to have. Not happy with the huge show of support for Minocqua Brewing, and specifically its politically progressive owner Kirk Bangstad, the Oneida County Politburo (committee) has now rescheduled a far less open and democratic meeting for today, Wednesday, August 2nd. Earlier this year, the Minocqua Brewing Company superpac funded dozens of billboards in support of Judge Janet Protasiewicz. Both thankfully and ironically, Judge Janet was sworn onto the Wisconsin Supreme Court just yesterday Tuesday, August 1st. Reminding us that while gains continue to be made, the fight for fairness continues. Please follow Kirk's "beer battle" on his Minocqua Brewing Company Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/MBCBrews  To donate directly to the superpac, or to order beer, wine, coffee or a t-shirt in support, please visit: https://www.minocquabrewingcompany.com/ Several Chicagoland locations carry MBC products, including Doti Liquors at 104 E.
