WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I am administering this site for Santa Fe Grassroots for Obama volunteers and friends. Now that the election is over, the topics have broadened to local community events. I encourage each of you to find your passion and make it happen by volunteering and getting others involved. If you'd like to share and spread your volunteer interests, write something up and I'll post it. Along those lines, you'll find things here now that I am personally passionate about. So please join me! My best, Gaye Pollitt

Pride on the Plaza June 28, 10a-6p

Saturday, June 28 is Pride on the Plaza, Santa Fe's annual GLBT celebration! There's a parade, music, food, booths, dancing costumed people...fun for everyone. Whether you're G, L, B, T, straight as an arrow, or none of the above, we'd love for you to participate! The festival runs from 10a-6p. Wear your Obama gear!

We still need volunteers to cover shifts at our Obama information booth, our voter registration booth, and to march in the parade (starts at noon and lasts about a half hour). We've got a large banner to march behind reading "Obama ’08,” with a rainbow for the “O” and will be making other signs. We are hoping that at least 20 of us will be lined up in the parade next to the Udall folks, many of whom will be on bikes, and the Lujan folks who have 3 cars. Do you have a fun/fancy car or maybe a truck (1 or 2 would be great) to escort us or know anyone who does? Please call Cheri. We are also hoping to coordinate our Obama information booth to line up in a row with the Lujan and Udall info booths. We especially need volunteers who are voter registration agents.

We're having a planning meeting on Monday, June 23rd at 6:30pm on the plaza. If you're interested in marching, volunteering, and/or planning, please take our brief survey. (survey link removed)
