Honoring Juneteenth: Freedom, Community, and Continuing the Work ❤️💛💚
Today, the Darke County Democrats join our neighbors across Ohio and the nation in celebrating Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, freedom finally reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas—marking a monumental step toward fulfilling America’s founding promise.
Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience, culture, and the unbreakable spirit of a people who fought for their humanity. But it is also a vital reminder that true freedom isn't just a date on a calendar; it is a promise we must defend and build upon every single day. ✊📜
At the heart of our local party is the belief that everyone in Darke County deserves the opportunity to thrive, live safely, and be treated with dignity. Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come and recommit ourselves to standing Loud and Proud for equality, justice, and a fairer future for all our families.
Happy Juneteenth, everyone! Let’s keep moving forward together. 🤝✨

The future of American democracy will not be decided in Washington. It will be decided in state capitols across the country.

Last week, the lawmakers rushed HB 472, a really bad anti-voter bill, through the Ohio Statehouse, and it's now up to Governor DeWine to stop it with a veto.

The Governor needs to hear from you! Go to the link below to email him, or call him directly at (614) 644-4357, or (614) 466-3555.

Tell him HB 472 would:
📪 Make voting by mail much harder for eligible Ohio voters, especially those who are elderly, disabled, students, and living in rural areas
👀 Introduce identity theft and privacy concerns
💸Provide no new funding to BOEs to implement & manage huge new system

Rushing complicated election law always means unintended consequences that will hurt voters and election officials, and cost money and time to make right. Go here to email the governor to tell him to veto HB 472:

Tomorrow night: Let’s talk about doing what's right for Ohio kids. 🏫🎒

Darke County, you won't want to miss tomorrow's meeting! The Darke County Democratic & Independent Women’s Group is hosting a very special guest speaker who proved that Republicans and Democrats can work together when it comes to protecting our schools.
Come hear directly from Dr. John Patterson, co-author of the historic, bipartisan Fair School Funding Plan. He’ll be pulling back the curtain on how Ohio lawmakers sidelined a plan built by actual educators just to hand out tax breaks to wealthy earners and foreign-backed data centers.

🗓️ When: Tomorrow, June 17th @ 7:00 PM
📍 Where: Shawnee Prairie Nature Center, Greenville

This event is FREE and open to the public. Bring a friend, bring a neighbor, and let's keep standing up Loud and Proud for our kids and our public schools! 📜💪
