Host a watch party for the AFL-CIO presidential debate!

Our Working Families Win project has proved how successful house parties can be- getting people who have never been active in politics before to engage with issues like trade and health care. Well, here's a chance to try it for yourselves!

The AFL-CIO are encouraging us to hold 'watch parties' for their Presidential Candidates debate on August 7th. The whole thing is being broadcast on MSNBC at 7-8.30pm EST. Why not invite round friends and neighbors, sit back with a few beers (or what ever is your tipple) and get them talking about the work ADA is doing on the big issues- putting labor and environmental standards at the heart of trade agreements, raising the minimum wage, and pushing for single-payer, universal health care.

If you are a house party newbie, try these tips from Working Families Win on how to host a party.

It's grassroots organizing that's really going to make the difference in the 2008 election. Together we can build a solid majority that can change our nation for the better. Spread the word!
