Bar Night – Post-Election Thoughts and Future Planning Please join Democrats Abroad Thailand for a Bar Night, 6:30 to 9:00 pm, Tuesday, 26 November 2024 at O’Sheas Rooftop. Location: Sukhumvit 33/1, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Bangkok, near Phrom Phong BTS Station. (Google Map) Election Day did not go the way we hoped, but now we all need to work together to double down on our efforts to help Democrats across the country stop the Republican Agenda. We also need to start planning now to take back the House in 2026 and increase representation at local, county and state levels. Democrats Abroad also offers a number of opportunities to get involved with advocacy across a wide array of issues. There are various global task forces and caucus groups whose specific topics are likely to interest to DAT Members: Senior Caucus, Taxation Tax Force, Medicare Portability Task Force, Women's Caucus, Veterans & Military Families Caucus, Environment & Climate Crisis Council, (etc.). This Bar Night will give a chance to all get together to commiserate and grieve, but also steel our resolve to keep the fight going, and proactively and effectively plan our next steps. So please join us. Democrats Abroad Thailand
