When the Albemarle County Democrats’ annual Fall BBQ had to be canceled due to Covid-19, other fundraising efforts had to be relied upon to replace funds usually generated by the BBQ. It was through a tremendous amount of support and generosity that the Albemarle County Democrats raised donations this fall so that we’re able to continue working on campaigns and community outreach efforts.

The Albemarle County Democrats would like to thank the following people who stepped up and made a 2020 Fall donation:

If you’re looking for a last-minute way to help in the most important election of our lives, we need you.

There are voters right here in Albemarle who requested a mail ballot but never turned it in. They still have time to drop those ballots off, whether at the county office building at 5th Street Extension, or at their regular polling place on Election Day. But we need volunteers to go talk to those voters and make sure they turn in those ballots and make them count. We’ll be holding safe, socially distant conversations with these voters, and every volunteer must wear a mask at all times.

If you’re in Charlottesville or willing to drive there, we’ve got canvasses launching at noon TODAY, Nov.1, and TOMORROW, Monday, Nov. 2, from the pavilion at McIntire Park, just past the YMCA. Sign up here for Sunday or Monday.

If you’re in Crozet or elsewhere and want to talk to people closer to home, and you can print out the map and list of names you’ll need to contact, email Teddy Hamilton, who’ll get you set up with everything you need.

Do it for Joe, Kamala, Mark, Cameron, yourself, your kids and/or grandkids, and your country. We can do this, Dems. We’re almost there.
