Become a Neighborhood Leader!

"Hope is an Action - We can ALL take . . " -Cornel West --A Note from David Sours, Neighborhood Leader Program, Chair Reproductive rights under assault. Climate regulation overturned. School boards taken over by the alt right. Election conspiracies running rampant – even in Southern Oregon.

The list of outrages seems endless . . . .

Oregon’s Republican party would like nothing more than to extend oppressive laws to our county and state. The Grand Old Party plans to do this by taking over the Oregon State Legislature and Governor’s office in the coming Midterm Election (Nov. 8, 2022). And next spring (2023) the Republicans plan to go after our school boards.

But there is something we can do about all this . . . and it starts right in your own neighborhood . . .

Our shared moral outrage goes only so far. If you want to make a difference, you really can—but you might have to get outside your comfort zone. You can start by reaching out to your neighbors . . .

We can only stop them by getting more votes.

Let us help you find your role in this effort. There are many possibilities, but first please consider becoming a Neighborhood Leader with the Jackson County Democrats. Volunteering as a Neighborhood Leader (NL) is an easy program that helps you reach out to like-minded voters in your community and make sure they vote! It’s our party’s most effective avenue to GOTV (Get Out the Vote). Find out what we do at https://www.jcdemocrats.org/nlp-recruit. If you’re not sure the Neighborhood Leader Program is the right fit for you, send a note to [email protected], or call 541-601-2948 (David Sours). There are other possibilities; we’ll do our best to find something that works for you. Already a Neighborhood Leader? Please try to identify one person who is supportive of your efforts as an Neighborhood Leader. Invite them to join us. Currently we have 229 NLs. If each of us recruits one person, we could have virtually every neighborhood in Jackson County covered! Please join us. As your neighbors, we refuse to give up HOPE for our democracy and we are dedicated to taking ACTION in our communities.
