The event will also feature a few special guests with raffle prizes and pizza starting at 7pm courtesy of Local 16 and more!
As many of you know, 2014 was a great year for America (http://www.whitehouse.gov/2014-in-review) but a terrible year for Democrats so this year's theme is...UNITE FOR PROGRESS!
Featured activities include….
2016 Candidate Showcase & Straw Poll:
First off, we want to offer a platform for attendees to meet representatives of groups supporting 2016 candidates and hear their pitch before voting in a 2016 Straw Poll that will reveal who DC-area politicos would like to see run for President.
1/15 Ready For Warren Fundraiser @ Local 16:
1/27 AAPI Ready For Hillary Fundraiser @ Capitale:

2016 Action Showcase & Petition Station:
We also want to offer a platform for attendees to have their voice heard and connect with causes they care about so we will highlight various local and national causes with an issue petition and information station.
Sign the petition asking the President to support DC Voting Rights during his speech:

Open "Dem Autopsy" Interviews & Submissions:
But most importantly, we also will ask everyone to join together to become "Ready For Unity" by getting engaged in the future of our Movement so we can help build on the President's growing legacy and message so we can build critical momentum when the nation decides which party should have the majority again in 2016 and beyond.
As you might have seen, the DNC has sent out surveys to ask for your input on how to succeed again so please have your voice heard:
At the event, N4P will also ask you to do the same thing via video interviews during the event where you can share your Open "Dem Autopsy" feedback with the world! You can also share your ideas for @thedemocrats via your eventbrite registration, the hashtag #mydemautopsy and our DNC Suggestion Box at the event. We will post them later with your permission.
