EXAMPLES OF PAST MEETINGS

FEB 8 2023 - CITIZENS COUNT
Anna Brown joined us to provide an overview of the legislative session with a focus on Windham's representatives, likely "hot topics," and lesser-known bills. The presentation was so interesting and informative!!

Review the presentation slides or watch the video recording of our meeting below.

Feb '23 Meeting - Presentation Slides

​At our July monthly meeting, the Windham Democratic Town Committee was thrilled to have Anna Brown, director of research and analysis for Citizens Count, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to provide objective information and promote the civil exchange of opinions in a variety of forums, return with an overview of the 2023 legislative session.
Brown went over the highlights of a session that saw well over a thousand bills presented, along with the biennial budget process. It's a lot and Citizens Count does a great job of parsing the details to help the ordinary citizen better understand what goes on in Concord and with our state representatives.
Highlights of the talk included an overview of an historically bipartisan session, with divisive bills being tabled outright, a budget that passed on a voice vote, and some wins for Democrats the came down mostly to attendance. Brown also presented a brief overview of each of Windham's five state representatives, the bills they sponsored, and their attendance rates. As with most of the state legislature this year, attendance was up with all but Julius Soti seeing near perfect attendance and voting.

We are Windham - We are Windems!

To the thousands of registered Democrats and left-leaning undeclared voters in town: The Windham Democratic Town Committee wants to meet you! Join us to celebrate our town, diversity, equality and democracy.

Who are we? The Windems are a group of progressive-minded citizens working to raise awareness on issues we hold dear to our hearts, including those around civil rights, education and opportunity for everyone. 

We are also a group of like-minded parents, small business-owners, authors, artists, educators, retirees, recent college grads, immigrants, health care professionals, volunteers, and more who are part of the very fabric of this town. We have raised our children here. We have supported the businesses here. We have walked these streets, biked these roads, swam in these lakes, and we love the beauty that is Windham. 

Most importantly, we have voted here. And we will continue to do so!

Monthly Meetings: The Windems runs a monthly informational meeting that covers a variety of topics, from state education funding, to legislative updates, the abortion ban, LGBTQ+ issues and celebrations, gun safety legislation, messaging, election strategy, and more to come. We host an annual Summer Social, providing an opportunity for everyone to meet local candidates and each other on a casual level along with community post-card writing, phone banking and sign-holding events during election season.

Local Involvement: Beyond our outreach about political issues and support for candidates, Windems is all about getting involved in the community. In the past year, we have handed out pinwheels to kids along the Memorial Day Parade route, hosted a table at the Harvest Fest, created a Blue Superhero for the Scarecrow Contest, handed out flag lapel pins on election days, donated prizes for Teacher Appreciation Days, hosted social events and more! On the 11th, we are proud to support Windham Citizens for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion's annual Pride Festival at the High School! 

Strawberry Festival: Last weekend, we were thrilled with the outpouring of support for the Strawberry Festival Raffle Table. This was the Windems' second year coordinating prizes and running the ticket sales and it was a huge success with the highest-ever take of more than $6,000 (as compared to last year's $2,500.) It was a lot of work but it's such a great event; we loved it!

Thank you! A gold star award should go to the businesses and groups who donated prizes. We had some big items like an e-scooter that we, the Windems, donated, a bike from the Windham GOP, an air conditioner from Utility Management Group, a toaster oven from Baron's Major Brands, a selection of fine art and crafts from local artists, gift cards or baskets from local businesses and so much more! Please see the FLOW ad in the paper for the entire list. And give them your business wherever you can!

We are Windham: We love this town. We love the families, the community, the schools, the parks, the lakes, the rail trail, the trees, the snow in winter and the humidity in the summer. We love the coffee shops, the churches, the restaurants, the small businesses and the people we meet in all of them who make Windham special and who make it home.

Join us! If you are looking for a way to get involved or to meet people who support the same issues that you support or if you want to learn more, please join us! Sign up for our newsletter at www.windems.org. Follow us on Facebook at WindhamNHDemocrats. Come to a meeting, register to volunteer with us at an event, or join us for a social at the Windham Restaurant.
