Sudbury Democratic Town Committee

Sudbury Stands for Democracy is back. We will be peacefully protesting Friday, Feb. 21, 4:30-5:30, at our usual spot in front of the Sudbury Town Hall.

Please bring your signs and banners against “President” Musk and his minions, the felonious Trump, and the supine Republican Congress and Senate. And given the latest news, we will be bringing SUDBURY FOR UKRAINE signs.  https://sudburydemocrats.org/ukraine/ Please join us!

Please join Senator Eldridge, Rep. Gentile, and three guest speakers (see below) at “Reimagining Healthcare: A Community Forum”

When: Thursday, February 27th 2025 at 7pm

Where: Goodnow Library, 21 Concord Rd, Sudbury, MA 01776

The forum, hosted by the Sudbury, Maynard, Lincoln, and Wayland Democratic Town Committees, will feature three experts on healthcare and an in-depth discussion and Q&A on universal healthcare and Medicare-For-All.

Further to our meeting with MetroWest Blue and Beyond back in February, I have compiled a list of education (501c3) non-profits in swing states that focus on voter turn out. The list comes from GuideStar, a website that rates non-profits. The EIN numbers are useful if you are donating not via ActBlue but from a before-tax fund like a Donor Advised Fund or a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) at age 70.5+ from an IRA
