To: Champaign County Democratic Central Committee
@ChampaignCoDems: Back @KeithEllison for #DNCChair
Just Foreign Policy
Pass a resolution endorsing CPC co-chair Keith Ellison to be the next chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Why is this important?
Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Rep. Keith Ellison is running to lead the Democratic National Committee. He has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Raul Grijalva, CWA, National Nurses United, MoveOn, the Working Families Party, and PDA.
Rep. Ellison has been a champion for working people and the environment. He opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and helped lead the fight to get the Democratic Party Platform to take an explicit stand against the TPP. If chosen to lead the DNC, Rep. Ellison will return the focus of the party to building political power for working people.
The next meeting of the Champaign County Democratic Central Committee is November 30. Champaign County Democrats voted for Bernie in the primary by a margin of two to one. Urge Champaign County Democrats to support the candidacy of Keith Ellison to lead the DNC by signing our petition.
