"And then every now and then, the possibilities explode. In these moments of rupture, people find themselves members of a "WE" that did not exist until then, at least not as an entity with agency and identity and potency; new possibilities suddenly emerge, or that old dream of a just society reemerges and-at least for a little while-shines. Utopia is sometimes the goal. It's often embedded in the moment itself and it's a hard moment to explain, since it usually involves hardscrabble ways of living, squabbles and eventually disillusionment and factionalism-but also more ethereal things: the discovery of personal and collective power, the realization of dreams, the Birth of bigger dreams, the sense of connection that is as emotional as it is political, and lives that change and do not revert to old ways even when the glory subsides."

WE are the WE that WE have been waiting for. 

Because Mr Perez and Mr Ellison understand the radical importance of this WE, they, too, have begun a serious unity tour this week. 

See an article on that here.

What WE  most need 

to unify on are ALL of the wonderful, rational, economically-sound, people-centered policies that have been pushed through by Democratic presidents and legislators in the U.S. and not let the incidental political squabbles of the day distract us from deep pride and the sense of meaning that comes from being the Protectors of these values.

And WE hope that you agree and will, if able, be attending our celebration of The Democratic Party, so alive and well in DuPage, with our special keynote, Deputy Democratic National Committee Chair, Keith Ellison. This is our main fundraiser of the year and the more dollars we get in for tickets, advertisements in the gala book, sponsorships and table purchases, the more flexibility we have to provide up to the minute responses to the needs of this very challenging time in history. Those dollars STAY RIGHT HERE in Dupage to do the most essential work for the long haul and Keith Ellison is coming to help us do that. Please be there.
