event

Join us in supporting our Jewish friends and neighbors on a march from Danvers Indoor Sports to Route 114 bridge.

A community conversation in Danvers on Monday, September 19 will help residents connect and reflect in light of the antisemitic banners being displayed from highway overpasses earlier this week.

The informal conversation to be held at 6 PM on the lawn of the Peabody Institute Library has been changed to the Danvers High School Atrium from 6:00 – 7:30.

The event comes after a group of masked individuals held up banners in Danvers and Saugus Saturday that falsely blamed Jewish people for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The statewide primary election date has been set for September 6. Voters will choose Democratic nominees for Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer and Auditor alongside all 200 sets in the Legislature. (Select CANDIDATES on the menu to see a list of candidates.)

September Meeting

DDTC September meeting was held on Thursday, the 22nd via zoom.

We chose to continue with zoom this month as we discussed finances. Next months meeting will likely be in person but stay tuned.

A speaker from Swing Left addressed the group. Swing Left sends post cards to voter in swing states.

Beth Kontos talked to us about the Fair Share Amendment on the ballot in November.

We decided to donate up to $1,000 to candidates. Half was donated to our strongest supporters, Sally and Joan. The remaining half was donated to state candidates and to the DNC in varying amounts.

We discussed doing a stand out to support Democrats down the ballot. The date will be October 10. A follow up meeting was scheduled for the next Tuesday to finalize details.

Marilyn passed on the concern from the Town Clerk as follows:

Election Day signs

Cathy Ellsworth, Town Clerk, has sent a letter to both the Republican and Democratic Town Committees to remind the membership who volunteer for campaigns that signs at polling places are to be attended at all times and, therefore, not left on the ground according to town ordinance.  Also, they are not to be placed on public lands. They may only be placed on private property with permission of the owner. I am sure that we all abide by the town ordinance, but, a reminder never hurts.

Don’t forget to join the Beverly Democrats on Sunday 8/21 from 2:30-4:30 at Obear Park (145 Livingstone Avenue) for our summer ice cream social! Enjoy a free scoop and mingle with fellow Democrats and candidates for office just before the crucial Democratic primary. We look forward to seeing you! Thanks!

The DDTC presented the DDTC scholarship to Amanda Tinkham. Amanda and her dad attended the cookout.

Senator Lovely presented the scholarship to Amanda giving a short speech informing the committee members of Amanda’s many academic accomplishments. Amanda will be attending George Washington University majoring in political science with a minor in economics. We all wish Amanda the best as she embarks on college but know that she will do well.

Representative Paul Tucker attended the cookout and gave a few words congratulating Amanda on her accomplishments and scholarship.

The June meeting was the annual combination cookout/meeting and Danvers Student College Scholarship presentation.

It was a good time to socialize and discuss the events of the day. We thank all the members who attended and brought food. It was a nice day for all.
