Some Local Activities For Your Calendar:


Candidate Filing Period
The filing period for candidates running for state office opens on Wednesday, June 3 and runs through Friday, June 12.


Tuesday, June 2, 2020  4:00 - 5:00 PM
This coming Tuesday, June 2nd, at 4:00pm, Savannah Woolston, New Hampshire Democratic Party Digital Director, will be hosting a virtual training on using Zoom to host great, virtual meetings. In this training session, she will go over all of the functionalities Zoom has to offer to meeting hosts, give some tips and tricks, and answer any questions you may have about using Zoom as both a meeting participant and meeting host.

Many of you are looking for — or have already found and would be willing to share! — creative ways to use Zoom for house parties, committee meetings, candidate town halls, and more. This training can help everyone feel more comfortable and confident about using this digital tool as we continue to need to organize and meet virtually. 

Click here to register for the training, and you will be sent the link to join the Zoom. Please register before 3pm on Tuesday.  https://www.mobilize.us/nhdp_events/event/275506/

Wednesday, June 3, 2020  6:00 - 7:00 PM

Next Wednesday, Andy Volinksy, candidate for Governjor, will be holding a virtual town hall to discuss Education During the Time of COVID-19.  He is inviting parents, educators, and anyone interested in ensuring that every child receives an equitable and adequate education during these trying times. Teachers have had to adjust to remote learning while parents now struggle to balance jobs (or job loss) with supervising their children's education. What is in the best interests of our children as NH prepares for the new school year?

Andy will be joined by John Freeman (Superintendent of Pittsfield School District), Robin Vogt (Portsmouth special education paraeducator), and Patricia Barry (Principal of Stevens High School in Claremont).

WHEN:  Wednesday, June 3, 6pm-7pm
