Weekly Lakeland Curb Market
Can you spare 1-2 hours or more between the hours of 9 am - 2 pm on a Saturday, each week or once a month? If so, please sign up to help the Polk County Democratic Party during the Lakeland Curbside Farmers Market. We are not allowed to set up a table, so you will be standing on a corner with your clipboard.

Please note that bilingual (especially Spanish/English) volunteers are needed for all voter registration events!

Social Success
It was great to see everyone who could attend our social event Bring a 'D' and a Dish last week.
Here's hoping we have more social events in the new year!

Homecoming Celebration and Funeral to be held Tuesday (Dec 7) for Florida Democratic trailblazer

Flags were flown at half-staff on Sunday to honor former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, the granddaughter of slaves who became the first African American woman elected to the Florida Senate in 1982.

Meek entered politics when she was elected to the Florida House in 1979. Three years later, she won a Florida Senate seat at age 56. In 1992, she joined Corrine Brown and the late Alcee Hastings as the first Black Floridians to serve in Congress since post-Civil War Reconstruction. She left office in 2003.
