Clovis Democratic Club July 2016 Newsletter

Next Meeting What a great picnic we had! Our room was full of Democrats enjoying camaraderie and celebrating our nation. It was a privilege to hear Fiona Ma, a candidate for statewide office. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this event! Our Club is making its mark in the local political scene. Despite the unity shown in our picnic, early July has been marked nationally with conflict and tragedy with several police shootings of citizens followed by the sniper killings of police officers in Dallas. It appears that divisiveness in our political climate has reached a crisis point with the politics of demonizing the “other” culminating in fear and blame. Daily protests have been occurring across the country and tensions have been high. It is too early to tell how these events are going to resolve, but the party nominating conventions are starting with the Republicans next week. Whether we move toward more divisiveness or more conciliation within our country may depend on the way these conventions address the issues. My hope is that it will be toward conciliation. A theme that President Obama has returned to repeatedly as a step toward bringing people together is to see the world through somebody else’s eyes, and to stand in somebody else’s shoes. In an effort to move in this direction, our club has invited Reza Nekumanesh to talk to speak of the experience of Muslims in American society. Please join us for this very informative presentation and for our first ever meeting in the month of July! Jeni
