Since 2005, we haven’t missed or canceled an NDFA meeting and thanks to @phonejerome and @HardLensMedia we can still keep everyone informed and all of us going.
Pleasure virtually 'working the boards' today for @Northside_DFA and their guests Chicago aldermen of the 40th ward @Andrefor40th and 47th ward @MattMartinChi - it's an honor! #Chicago
The work of the city goes beyond cool memes. Join NDFA Today as 2 of our newest Alderfolks @MattMartinChi - 47th Ward & @Andrefor40th (40th) - will take your questions about Chicago and the ongoing lockdown, as well as other COVID issues and issues in the city.
Also, a just want to send a big thank you to @HardLensMedia for getting us on the up and up with technology for the meeting. If you haven’t done so yet, follow them!
During this time of social distancing, many things have had to change. One of them is the way we can meet with each other. We have decided to try what a lot of us have got used to in the past few weeks: an online meeting! So, get ready to fire up your computer!
So, @Maria, @LaPointefor19 , Sophia, Joe, Ray, Wednesday, 7:30, https://t.co/vMl7UBcyxW. It will be different, there may be glitches, we may have to do it again next month to get it right. But Join us and let us know what you think.
Also, steering committee elections will have to be postponed. Our by laws say the voting must be in person and the votes on paper ballots. It is the only vote described this way. So if you are interested in being on the steering committee, let me know! There’s still time!
So the last couple weeks have been unprecedented & unpresidented in our experience.Yesterday’s news seems like it was light years ago, & today’s goes by so fast.There are so many moving parts to keep track of. For instance, donyou remember there was an election just last week?
Looking ahead, we are anticipating the May meeting may also have to be cancelled. We are considering ways we may be able to hold an online meeting, and we will keep you informed as we make decisions.
It seems so long ago. Our world is changing. There are changes for NDFA, as well. April meeting of NDFA has been cancelled. Chief O’Neill’s is closed under gubernatorial directive, and we must stay home under Executive Order #8.
@Northside_DFA@SenSanders@ewarren The updates from NDFA members who volunteered with the Sanders and Warren campaigns in Iowa were more informative than what has come out of @iowademocrats in the last 10 days 😉
