You can’t build a resistance without money. But when the money ain’t moving you do the next best thing.. You throw a party, no wait, you throw a “weekend gathering” to rub shoulders, pat backs and pucker those lips – PB/TK
Democratic Donors Gather in D.C. to Plot the Resistance – LACHLAN MARKAY 03.21.17
The Democratic Party’s top officials will meet with some of their wealthiest donors in Washington, D.C., this week to plot the Trump resistance, according to documents obtained by The Daily Beast.
The chairs of the Democratic National Committee and the party’s House and Senate campaign arms will huddle with activists, operatives, and deep-pocketed Democratic financiers at a biannual conference hosted by the Democracy Alliance, a leading left-wing donor collaborative at Washington’s ritzy Mandarin Oriental hotel.
They will discuss strategy for immediate opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies, begin laying the groundwork for Democratic campaigns in next year’s midterm elections, strategize future efforts for congressional redistricting, and promote an agenda focused on the state level, where Democrats still retain some power and hope to build a model for national progressive victories. And perhaps most importantly, map out how to fully fund their opposition to all things Trump.
“The early days of the Trump administration are reaffirming our worst fears—that his presidency represents not just a victory for conservatism but an assault on the norms and institutions that sustain a vibrant democracy,” declares an agenda for the conference, which runs from Wednesday to Saturday. “Yet the early resistance to the Trump agenda has been swift, steadfast, and multifaceted, including mass mobilizations, citizen activism, and swift legal action from ethics watchdogs and state attorneys general.”
