***this month only*** DFA Monthly Meeting

Agenda:

After you vote on Tuesday (or sooner) and help get out the vote for the candidates and issues that matter so much
this year, join us Wednesday as we begin the post-election period continuing to shape the progressive agenda in NJ.

As discussed at October's meeting, we will be joining Garden State Equality this month in kicking off its post-election Regional Ramp Ups for marriage equality in New Jersey. ***Free pizza and soda at this event***

Our group agreed to meet at the Montclair event -- same time as always, 7pm -- at 500 Bloomfield Avenue, GSE's Montclair headquarters.

Essex County DFA's parent organization, Democracy for New Jersey, is a co-sponsor of this event.

At these Ramp Ups, we will be writing letters to and calling key legislators -- so bring your cell phones.

This is the first chance we have to make public the strong statewide support for marriage equality after election day. It is critical to have a large turn out. It's also critical we learn exactly what needs to be done to win marriage equality in the coming weeks.

Time is short, and your participation is crucial. Please join us for this very special action, this month.
