Local Young Democrats will be leaving Friday afternoon. If you are interested in attending or making a donation to defray the cost of the trip, you may contact Mizzou College Democrats President Amanda Shelton at mizzoucollegedemocrats@gmail.com.

For those interested in following the convention over Twitter, follow @MUCollegeDems or search for the hashtag #JacksonDays10.

This post was co-authored with Alanna Bauer.

There will be food, refreshments and friends starting at 5:30 PM.

Karen’s home is at 300 W. Broadway, Columbia, MO 65201.

We are hosting this party to raise funds to keep our permanent, year round Headquarters in downtown Columbia humming along straight through the fall campaign season.

Every dollar raised now is one less dollar we have to worry about looking for to pay for our rent, internet, phone, postage or paper. It means that we can truly focus on fulfilling our mission: to protect Democratic incumbents and support Democratic challengers to electoral victory.

Hope to see you there!

The Heatland Men’s Chorus from Kansas City will be here to perform their musical documentary “And Justice For All.”

This will be a multimedia performance focusing on the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for equality by ethnic minorities,  women,  gays and lesbians down through our history.

Tickets are $10 and available online at the Missouri Theater

Proceeds benefit the Center Project, Mid-Missouri’s  gay and lesbian community center.

Sponsored by The City of Columbia Human Right’s commission, Missouri Arts Council,  KBIA, and the Columbia Daily Tribune

Newly elected President Amanda Shelton is excited about the upcoming meeting and party, saying, “I am looking forward to working with Brian and many community leaders in the coming year to energize and coordinate our mutual efforts on progressive issues. Our newly elected executive board is ready to bring both professionalism and vitality to our student-run organization and the thousands of progressive voices we represent.”
