Forward Fox Valley and the Democratic Party of Outagamie County are hosting a “Good Trouble Lives On” protest on July 17 at Houdini Plaza. Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people. Find out more!

Fresh off our big state supreme court victory we turn our attention to the 2026 midterms. Sign up for our next Weekend of Action Aug. 16-17 to go out and have conversations with voters and find out what is on their minds. We will be talking to Democrats who sat out the November election as well as voters for whom we have not party affiliation data. This is the necessary groundwork to win in 2026. Look for signup links soon or in the next newsletter.

The date is set so mark your calendar for Aug. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Telulah Park, 1300 E. Newberry St., Appleton. Buy your tickets here. Sign up to contribute food here. Check our Facebook page here.

Stay tuned for more details on the Labor Day Parade on Sept. 1 in Neenah. We need our biggest turnout ever so mark your calendars!

All forty and under are invited. Check out the Fox Valley Young Dems meeting every 3rd Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Appleton Public Library. The next one is set for July 19. The future depends on you! Questions: Call Linnea at 920.489.9228
