❤️ Be Mine, Democracy with author David Pepper @ Virtual by Zoom

What should we be doing to LOVE the heck out of our country and how we can we fight back now?

Join the Friday Power Lunch this week where we will speak with David Pepper (Pepperspectives on Substack) on the attacks on Democracy, the digital coup, the defunding of government agencies, the firing of IGs and Justice officials, the recent appointments of MAGA fanatic and “deep state” conspiracist installed by Donald Trump to top cabinet positions, and why the courts are the bulwark of holding Trump accountable.

We look forward to hearing from:

– Luisa Boyarski, Virginia Grassroots Coalition – Grassroots Update

– Carrie Short, Coastal Anchor – Playbook Building leaders

Presidents’ Day – FCDC Office Closed
Feb 17 all-day

This is a federal and Virginia holiday.

Every third Monday of February (February 20) we celebrate Presidents’ Day in all its patriotic glory. Many people relish their day off of work, but they might be surprised to know that that was the point! In 1971, Presidents’ Day moved in an effort to create more three-day weekends for the public in the hope that this would inspire greater productivity nationwide. It was believed that at this point in the year, the restorative effects of the winter holidays have begun to fade and people need another break to regain some of that lost stamina.

Dulles Area Democrats (DAD) Monthly Breakfast – AG Candidates @ Jimmy's Old Town Tavern
Feb 24 @ 7:30 am – 9:00 am
Dulles Area Democrats (DAD) Monthly Breakfast - AG Candidates @ Jimmy's Old Town Tavern

Join DAD for our monthly breakfast as we welcome our guest speakers, Attorney General Candidates Jay Jones and Shannon Taylor.

With the advent of a second Trump term as President, the need for a Democratic Attorney General for the Commonwealth couldn’t be more imperative. Trump’s egregious attempt to freeze federal funding went unchallenged by AG Miyares. Upholding the constitution and protecting VA families is on the ballot this election year.

Come hear the candidates address these important issues.

  • 7:30 AM: network
  • 8:00 AM: breakfast and speaker

* FCDC does not endorse during primary campaigns. Any Democratic candidate or candidate’s committee may add their Fairfax County events to the FCDC website calendar.
