Summer of Canvass - Canvassing event with training and support
Summer of Canvass - Canvassing event with training and support
July 15, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Port Townsend Library, Port Townsend, WA 98368, USA
This winter, we resisted. Now it's time for Democrats to go on offense! When Democrats only focus on elections in big presidential years, we miss opportunities to win important local races that build our bench and impact our communities. We need to talk -- and listen -- to voters all year, every year, about the things that matter to them. That’s why we’re launching the Summer of Canvass, a massive, volunteer-led, listening-based canvass that will connect volunteers like you with voters in your neighborhoods.
This is your invitation to join the team. We’ll train you to take part in this listening canvass in your neighborhood. You will join others in building a powerful grassroots network that is going to support Democrats up and down the ballot for years to come. Let's make this summer count. Sign up for the Summer of Canvass now!
On July 15th we will be canvassing precincts 706 and 709 in Port Townsend. We will provide you with canvass training, support, scripts, and turf sheets. You supply your smile, listening ears, and goodwill. First time canvassers welcome!
When: Saturday July 15th
1pm - meet for training, practice, and q&a at Port Townsend Library Learning Center
2pm - canvassing on your own or in pairs
4:30-5pm - re-group at a designated location for debriefing and celebration!
Where: Meet at the Port Townsend Library Learning Center "Charles Pink House" in front of the library.
How: RSVP to the organizers, or sign up directly here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedRAM-7sODslvCS07fwVtXZRsD36rPWBkVx0aOaGFJETHluQ/viewform#responses
Notes: Please bring your smart phone fully charged and your walking shoes. If you won't be using a smart phone and would like a printed turf sheet instead, please let the organizers know.

Central Committee Meeting
Central Committee Meeting
July 18, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Tri-Area Community Center, 10 W Valley Rd, Chimacum, WA 98325, USA
Please attend a meeting of the Central Committee of the Jefferson County Democrats on July 18 at 6 PM at the Tri-Area Community Center in Chimacum.
Some of the issues to be discussed at the meeting include:
- Canvassing. We will have a presentation from Carla Woodward and possibly others about the Summer of Canvass that has been organized for this summer. Canvassing has begun on a precinct by precinct level, and Carla brings both experience and enthusiasm to this effort. She will describe the State party efforts and how data is being captured and entered into VoteBuilder and miniVAN.
- Communication between the Executive Board and the Central Committee.
- Bylaws structure. We operate under the State Party bylaws as well as under our own, and the State Party reserves certain decisions to the Central Committee (elections of four officers and control of bylaws) and allows delegation of all other decisions and duties. There is a wide range of interpretation by State LD and County Parties of the delegation provision. Discussions over the last few months about bylaws and their interpretation have highlighted lack of clarity and some conflicts within our own JCD bylaws. Direction from the Central Committee can help guide the ad hoc committee that will be formed to recommend changes to our existing bylaws.
The key section from the State Party bylaws, Article VIII, is excerpted and is attached.
The entire State Party bylaws can be found on their website or by following this link:
http://www.wa-democrats.org/ sites/wadems/files/documents/ Washington%20State% 20Democrats%20-%20Bylaws%20-% 20150418_0.pdf
The Jefferson County Dem bylaws are at this link:
https://jeffcodemocrats.com/ wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ JCD-Bylaws-as-Amended-2016.pdf
There may be other topics that come up between now and the meeting; please suggest other important items that you believe the Central Committee should discuss, either at this meeting or at future meetings.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Marty Gilmore
Chair, Jefferson County Democrats
