There’s a bit of upcoming Democratic (or just plain liberal!) action coming up in Kansas these next few weeks. Here’s a quick guide:
Tomorrow, the Fourth District Young Dems (4DYD’s!) will be meeting and holding a meeting with everyone’s favorite addition – margaritas! (I’m sure you can get a virgin one, high school kiddos.) Details here, 4-5 pm at El Rodeo, 5730 Central, Wichita.
This Sunday, February 7 at 4pm the Johnson County Democratic Women will be hosting their annual Super Bowl Party fundraiser. Tickets are $25 each, and $3 for a cup to drink all night long! RSVP to Mary Kay Ziegler to get the address. (This way, you get to comment on those “non-political” ads without offending your non-Democratic family members!)
Monday, February 6 is the Kansas City Metro Action team of Planned Parenthood of KS + Mid-MO. 6:30 pm, email Jen for details and location. Always some good activists there! (and free condoms, if you’re in need). If you can’t make the Action Team, email them for info about a volunteer night on February 24 as well.
Tuesday, February 9 the Kansas City Young Democrats will be hosting a meeting and commencing the first Drinking Liberally! in KC. Plenty of local elected officials for your amusement, and after we’re done with them we’ll all find a good bar! 7 pm at the Lucky Brewgrille on Johnson Dr, in Mission.
Also Tuesday, the 9th the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice will be hosting a showing of the film “American Casino”, which talks about the banking crisis and how Wall Street was gambling with the money of Main Street. 6:30 pm, Manhattan Library (upstairs in the auditorium), details here.
Not to forget – the Vagina Monologues! KU is hosting their performances February 12 + 13 (Friday + Saturday), 7 pm, Hashinger Hall Theater, and tickets are $5 at the door. UMKC is also hosting two performances – February 17 + 18 (Wednesday + Thursday), at their Pierson Auditorium, doors at 7 pm, tickets $10 for students/$15 for public in advance, or add $2 to each of those at the door. They also have activities for the whole month!
AND, of course, WASHINGTON DAYS! February 26 + 27, Ramada in Topeka. If you need more details than that, you need to get more involved! Or, find the details here on the KDP website.
County Parties – Tomorrow, February 6 the Leavenworth County Party will be holding their regular 1st Saturday meeting. 9 am, Basehor Public Library. February 13 will be the Johnson County party’s Second Saturday meeting, 8 am at Cafe 75 (75th + Quivira), and February 20 will be the Wyandotte County party’s Third Saturday meeting, at 8:15 am – Granny’s Chicken Ranch, Village West, KCK. (Will someone please think of those of us who like to sleep in on Saturdays?)
To think… some people say the Democratic party doesn’t exist in Kansas. It does, and well all know it. Every time we stay out late, get up early, call 500 people, or knock 50 doors – we are Kansas Democrats, and we’re not going down any time soon!
