The Blue Wave
Coalition of St. Johns County FL brings together 10 progressive
and democratic organizations with the single purpose of electing
principled leaders that reflect our values. Supported by
volunteers and a highly skilled field team, we aim to eventually
turn our county blue by implementing an evidence-based strategic
plan. We invite you to be part of this bold effort by phoning or
visiting other registered Democrats, hosting events, donating to
defray the cost of materials, or providing administrative
support. This newsletter describes such opportunities for the
month of August. As your coalition chair, my virtual door is
always open. Please feel free to contact me via email and/or join
us on Facebook at Blue Wave Coalition of St. Johns County.

BLUE
WAVE COALITION EVENTS
August is
Primary month! Relative to prior months, we'll slow down a bit on
visiting Democrats (canvassing), which will allow us to focus on
calling voters to ensure they cast their ballots in the Primary.
There are some races we can win without even going to the General
Election if we get a high enough turnout. Canvassing for
Vote-by-Mail will pick up again in September. Other key August
events include a BWC meeting open to everyone who has or would like
to be part of or support our work, as well as two great
parties: the Blue Wave Beach Bash and an Election Watch
Party! Links to sign up for these and other events below.
