What Now? A Post-Roe Discussion w/Democratic Lawmakers

With all the confusion around the recent Supreme Court decision and the subsequent trigger ban signed into law, there are a lot of questions about what this means for Missouri residents.
Join us Thursday, July 28th at Wallace Park in Belton for a Post-Roe discussion with Missouri State Representatives Patty Lewis and Emily Weber. They'll discuss the current state of reproductive healthcare access in Missouri, answer questions, and show us how  to take action and take back our rights here in the Show Me State.
Come early at 6:00 PM, bring your favorite finger food, we'll supply the beverages. Reps Lewis & Weber will be leading our post-Roe discussion at 7:00pm.
Don't forget to bring your July Community Service donations benefitting the Raymore and Harrisonville animal shelters. See the shelter needs, below. 
We'll have a brief meeting following our discussion regarding upcoming events and volunteer needs.

Back to Blue - Good Trouble

Dear Fellow Democrats,

Are you ready to start some Good Trouble? The Cass County Democratic Central Committee is hosting its annual Back to Blue Dinner on April 23, 2022, at Memorial Station in Belton and we would love your support. We will honor Good Troublemakers past, present and future with a social hour at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner and program starting at 6:30pm. This event is a fundraiser for our Central Committee and will allow us to open a headquarters during the 2022 election cycle and support our local Democratic candidates.

Our inspiring line-up of Good Troublemakers includes Jessica Piper, a rural Progressive running for Missouri HD1, Manny Abarca, KCMO school board & MDP Treasurer, a special video message from Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and our special guest, Kansas City, MO Mayor Quinton Lucas. Jessica Podhola, IUPAT Government Affairs, returns as our emcee. Join us for a fun evening of great food, great entertainment, and phenomenal Democrats! You especially don’t want to miss our silent auction or a chance to win a locally made Gaddup the Democratic donkey quilt.

Patty Johnson
