| Congressman Keith Ellison Keynotes our 2017 Gala on Sunday, April 23 |
|
 | Greetings!
Never has our DuPage Democratic Party had so many deeply committed and qualified people lining up to get things done. We'd first like to say THANK YOU to everyone: Our 30 Action Group Leaders, the over 400 people who have started doing the action tasks of these groups to protect our Democratic values and create new possibilities, the tens and tens of folks who have become new members since the first of the year and YOU for reading this and contributing in every way you can. Thanks.
We are also so pleased to announce a magnificent coup on the part of our Chairman, Bob Peickert: Congressman Keith Ellison D-5 MN (likely soon-to-be DNC Chair) has gladly agreed to be our Keynote speaker at this year's April 23rd Gala dinner. Please read and share this recent article by The Nation about why having Mr Ellison as DNC Chair means addressing the party's and the nation's crisis by aligning Democrats more closely with movements for social and economic justice.

We are all in this together and our world will be changed for the better because of each of us.
Appreciatively,
