As a Democratic precinct leader, you’ve been on the “front lines,” organizing, recruiting, and motivating voters. You have first-hand experience, but more importantly, you have first-hand clarity and wisdom about what is and what isn’t effective. The Buncombe County Democrats want to hear and learn from you.
Sign-up for this well-paced, organized facilitated session for precinct officers and cluster leaders.

Instead of ineffective crosstalk that gets nowhere, Barrie Barton will lead constructive small group conversations that can lead to new ideas and solutions.

Who should attend: all Cluster Leaders and Precinct Officers

We're aware that there are numerous immigrants in Western North Carolina - Asheville/Hendersonville in particular - and we would like to know how they, and we, are likely to be impacted by Trump's threats of mass deportation on day 1 of his second term.
