We're celebrating democracy at this year's Fourth of July events, and we need your help! Come walk with Greater Palatine Area Democrats in the Palatine Jaycees Fourth of July Parade this Saturday, July 1--we need many people to carry banners and hand out candy--we have so much candy! We are number 25 in the parade. You can also volunteer at the GPAD Booth in the Expo at the Jaycees' Hometown Fest--we'll be there Saturday and Sunday afternoons, July 1 and 2. We are Booth 68. Or, join us on Tuesday, July 4 at the Rolling Meadows parade. It's super-fun to walk in the parades--we always get a great response from the crowd. Click on the links to sign up.

Join State Senator Ann Gillespie and GPAD volunteers on Saturday, June 24 for pizza and training on how we're reaching out to our Democratic voters this summer to learn what issues are important to them, and to grow the Democratic community here in Palatine Township. Senator Gillespie led the Senate budget team in Springfield during the spring session of the State Legislature, and she will share her insight into how our latest balanced budget is helping to make life better for everyone in Illinois. Remember: the Democratic Party is the party of fiscal responsibility.  Sign up for the pizza party here!

Join Greater Palatine Area Democrats as we mark the holiday of Juneteenth with a screening of "13th," a documentary by Ava DuVernay about the legacy of slavery. The title refers to the Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Sign up here: https://www.gpadems.org/gpad_juneteenth_movie_night_2023
