ICE is NOT Cool! - Visibility Event

ICE is out of control. They’re functioning outside the law. Masked agents are ripping people off the streets. They are detaining people without warrants. They are waiting outside schools, hospitals, and houses of worship.

If you value our immigrant friends, families, and neighbors, please join us to hold a sign that says that Granite Staters do NOT want this in our communities.

Good Health, Good Life! - Visibility Event

Healthcare is under attack. RJK, Jr. is trying to destroy Health and Human Service with bunk science and conspiracy theories. Trump wants to gut the ACA. And in NH, Republicans are trying to eliminate the Office of Health Access after slashing proven healthcare programs in the state budget.

Join us to tell people that Democrats want them to live healthy, productive, happy lives - and we will fight for them and their families.

The primary is upon us. It’s important that - whoever we are supporting in contested primaries - that we work as a party to get out the vote. Why? Big turnout gets voters excited, it tells people that Democrats can win in November, and it gives us a chance to emphasize to voters that their votes really make a difference. Please join us. Your country needs you.
