SUMMARY:Clay County Democratic Party Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:All Clay County Democrats are invited to attend our monthly meeting at The Corner Coffee Shop in Hayesville.  The Clay County Democratic Party monthly meeting is on the fourth Tuesday of each month with our speaker starting at 6:00 PM followed by an opportunity to socialize at 6:30.  The CCDP holds its business meeting starting around 7:00 PM\, and this meeting is also open for all Democrats to attend if they wish. \nThe speaker for this month is Julia Buckner. Julia is an extremely talented and experienced organizer and fundraiser\, having worked with campaigns\, political parties\, PAC’s\, and non-profits. \nJulia completed her undergraduate work at Western Carolina University\, graduating as a NC Teaching Fellow\, and spent eleven years teaching high school science. She took her summers off as an opportunity to continue her work with the United Methodist Church\, leading work teams from across the country as they traveled to the far western region of our state repairing homes and building relationships within our Appalachian communities. \nLeaving the classroom to pursue full-time ministry\, Julia became the director of program ministries and later the director of development and marketing at the Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville\, NC. \nThis intersection of community development\, faith\, and politics led Julia to Emory University where she obtained her M.Div. degree in 2009. Julia’s academic research centers around missiology\, and she is a past faculty member at Emory University’s Regional Course of Study School. \nDuring the 2008 election cycle\, Julia became involved with the Clay County Democrats\, volunteering for the Obama team\, and learning for the first time what “GOTV” actually stood for. She has served as President of the Tri-County Democratic Women\, is a past Chair of the Clay County Democrats\, was the President of the Democratic Women of NC\, was our first statewide Organizing Director\, and has managed several legislative and state-wide campaigns. \nIn 2017\, Julia’s work took her to Raleigh where she served as the Finance Director for the North Carolina Senate Democratic Caucus raising over 2 million dollars and helping to flip the six seats we needed to break the Republican supermajority. Most recently\, Julia was serving as the Executive Director for the Mecklenburg Dems and when she isn’t knee-deep in election statistics she’s trying in vain to organize her basement!

SUMMARY:Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The book selection for Monday\, August 12th 2024 is “1984″ by George Orwell. This book club meeting will be moderated by Ivor Groves. \n“George Orwell’s 1984 takes place in London in its titular year. Orwell imagined a grim future—a totalitarian state under the constant watch of Big Brother. With the Thought Police maintaining a hypervigilant control\, Winston Smith is in serious danger for having a well-functioning memory.  Tangled up in a forbidden love\, Winston joins the revolutionary Brotherhood\, determined to bring about the end of the Party. With his beloved Julia at his side\, he risks his life against those who hold all the power. \nWhile this groundbreaking novel has a place of honor as a PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick\, it also maintains its status as the most banned book of all time in America. Why was it banned? Its social and political themes were found to be too controversial\, and its sexual content was deemed inappropriate.  In 1981\, Jackson County\, Florida\, challenged the book for being pro-communism. Considering large portions of the text are not only anti-communist but in fact anti-government all together\, this challenge seems like a bit of a stretch. Furthermore\, the book was based on the very real political climate of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia\, warning against the totalitarianism that caused so much suffering in those countries and the regions over which they had influence.” \nPlease note that this meeting will take place in the Community Room at the Moss Memorial Library.  Entrance will be via the door on the same side as The Friends of the Library Book Store. \n  \nFOR THOSE WANTING TO PERUSE SOME BANNED BOOK LISTS:\nTop 100 Most Banned and Challenged Books: 2010-2019 complied by the American Library Association at ala.org\nPEN America’s The 11 Most Banned Books of the 2022-2023 School Year at pen.org \nThe Banned Book Club stands up for intellectual rights by reading and discussing books that have been banned in libraries right here in the United States.  Anyone who cares about the freedom to exchange ideas is welcome to attend.  You may also be interested in visiting The Banned Book Club website to learn how to stand up and fight book bans and also how to get access to banned books in communities where they were banned.

SUMMARY:Building Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, September 8th\, at 4:00 PM at the Corner Coffee Shop for “Building Community.” This event is a chance for us to come together in a safe and supportive environment to discuss our biggest concerns about the upcoming election season and explore ways to address them.   This month we will be screening the documentary film “Bad Faith“. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBAD FAITH is a feature-length documentary that explores the dangerous rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States. The film reveals the secretive political machinery that has relentlessly sought to weaken and destroy American democracy in order to promote its authoritarian vision1. Christian Nationalism has become the most powerful anti-democratic force in America\, with an unparalleled ability to destroy democracy from within. \n \n  \nMichelle Maloney guides us in this moderator-led collaborative community planning event that aims to amplify community voices and generate innovative avenues forward.  Our objectives include identifying actionable ideas that we can pursue throughout the evolving election season. \nIf you are so inclined you may bring a light refreshment\, juice\, or wine to share! Also\, a one dollar or two donation would be appreciated toward the venue expense.  Bring a pen! \nNOTE: The meeting on Voter Suppression is postponed until October.
