An Exciting Weekend for Change!

Delegates from around the state will be converging on Springfield this weekend for the 2009 Massachusetts State Democratic Convention. It has been an historic year for Democrats and this convention will be a time to celebrate our recent successes and begin thinking about the party’s future.

This year’s convention is an exciting and important one. David Plouffe, Obama’s presidential campaign manager, will be the keynote speaker and the most anticipated guest of the weekend. Delegates will be discussing and voting to approve the Platform that will guide the Party for the next four years. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to attend workshops with topics ranging from community organizing to creating campaign strategies to the world of electronic communications.

Cambridge Somerville for Change would like to congratulate delegates from all over the state and especially those chosen to represent Cambridge and Somerville. We are pleased that a number of delegates from the area are also CSfC members. Check back here for their reflections on the opportunities presented at the convention and how they fit into the needs of our community. We look forward to taking the lessons learned at the convention and applying them to our work at Cambridge Somerville for Change.
