Lots of news to share with you about our Eclectablog 2018 Annual Fundraiser on Friday, November 30th at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti.
First, we are thrilled to announce that, in addition to Jordan Zakarin from Progressives Everywhere, we will also have superstar progressive attorney and former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer joining us. While the passage of Proposition 2 on Election Day has everyone excited about the demise of gerrymandering, it’s important to remember that newly drawn legislative and Congressional maps won’t kick in until 2022 at the earliest. HOWEVER! A lawsuit filed by Mark, if he wins, could result in new maps much sooner than that, maybe even before 2020. We’ll talk to him about that and the other amazing legal challenges he has filed on behalf of progressive causes.
In addition to that, we’re happy to announce our first round of sponsors. If you’d like to join them, scroll down for details.
