The Good News . . . 

We are organizing to recruit and support strong candidates who share our values to run for local boards, especially school and library boards threatened by the extreme MAGA movement. Several good candidates are stepping up to serve but there is still a need for more activism in our county.   The filing deadline for this election is March 20, 2025. If you or someone you know is interested in running, please reach out to the county clerk’s office at (541) 883-5134.  We’ll be updating our election page as candidates file for election, so please stay tuned! Our webpage is at Home | Klamath County Democ  (you can hit cntrl and then click onto the link to go there directly).

Our party’s standing committees go through a similar process every two years. New members have been appointed, and these committees are meeting to elect leaders to be their chair, vice-chair, and secretary.

Are you interested in getting involved in the management and direction of our local party? Please consider becoming a Precinct Committee Person. Precinct Committee Persons attend monthly meetings (held via Zoom). All Precinct Committee Persons are encouraged to be actively involved in at least one of our standing committees: Budget and Finance, Campaign, Platform and Resolutions, Office Management, Fundraising,  and Technology, Rules, Community Engagement, and the Neighborhood Leader Program (our local Get Out the Vote team).  Thank you to the PCPs who have stepped up to serve on these important committees!  For more information, visit: Home | Klamath County Democ .

Even if you are not ready to run for a position this year, we strongly encourage all Klamath Democrats to be informed, be part of the discussion on what actions are taking place at both the State and Federal level with our Democratic Congress members, Democratic Governors/Attorney Generals across the nation; numerous Labor Unions fighting for government workers! These groups have had much success at the judicial level preventing TRUMP/MUSK from implementing illegal executive orders/actions that would do irreparable harm to our country and cause a deep recession according to economic experts.

You can contact the Party at klamathdems@aol.com .       

Klamath County DEMS (KCDCC) are planning a social get together/fundraiser to meet and greet at the OREGON EDUCATION ASSOCIATION office on 6350 S. 6th St (next to EASTRIDGE VET office) on Saturday, April 19th at 5pm. There will be a potluck dinner, refreshments and speakers who will update us on current events and actions taken locally and nationally. Come and meet your fellow Democrats!

Please RSVP at klamathdems@aol.com so we can get a head count for food, refreshments and door prizes! 

 

In these trying times, the poem below is being shared around the country to identify what the MAGA administration is doing to groups being attacked in America:

The poem First they came... was written by Martin Niemöller.

The poem is as follows:

First they came for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one

left to speak up for me.
