The next meeting of the TDWCC book club, B.R.O.A.D.S., is July 15 at 7pm at a private home.  Contact Lynn Wolfe for details.  All are welcome.

The book for the meeting is Framing the Future: How Progressive Values Can Win Elections and Influence People by Bernie Horn.

Polls show that most Americans are progressive on issues like healthcare, taxes, gun control and abortion, but all too often don’t vote that way. Veteran political operative Bernie Horn says it’s because progressives need to offer a more coherent vision of their guiding values.

In Framing the Future, Horn shows how to align progressive positions around the three bedrock American values of freedom, opportunity and security—a strategy that is backed by rigorous poll-testing and has been used to win elections across the nation.

Future meeting and books planned are:

Late September/Early October:  How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America: Freedom, Politics, and the War on Sex by Cristina Page.

Early January:  Founding Mothers:  The Women who Raised our Nation by Cokie Roberts.

This year’s Texas Democratic State Convention will be held at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, June 25-26th. There is great enthusiasm on the part of the Corpus Christi community to welcome our Democratic Delegates, Alternates, and guests to this year’s convention and kick our election season into high gear.

Importantly, in addition to facilitating the business of the Democratic Party, those elected as Delegates and Alternates to the State Convention have a number of opportunities to get involved and support the convention planning process, including soliciting auction items for our Convention Kickoff Silent Auction and helping to find volunteers willing to work at the State Convention.

Texas Democratic Women (TDW), our state-wide parent organization, will hold the Women’s Caucus at the convention and help with the Lady Bird Johnson Breakfast.
