Wake County Democratic Veterans/Families Interest Meeting

Goodwin House
220 Hillsborough Street

North Carolina has one of the largest veterans populations in the country.   The purpose of this meeting is to discuss why it is important for veterans to organize and how we can go about it within the North Carolina Democratic Party.   We want to hear your ideas for organizing and hope we can work together to organize veterans as a force in North Carolina politics.

February 4-18 is Wake Democratic Party precinct organizing. Please volunteer and participate in your local precinct and  join us on February 13 to discuss organizing veterans.

Our speaker will be one of President Trump’s “My Generals “   - retired Marine Corp Brigadier General George H. Walls  Jr
