Peter —

Tomorrow, we celebrate Presidents’ Day, honoring the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both leaders warned of the dangers of partisanship and the need to work together to find solutions for our communities and our country. Check out the events below for opportunities with the Forward Party and others to heal the divide and bring our house together again.

Best,

— The Forward Party Team
