Tength Congressional District Democrats

Because Democrats live our values, we’re thrilled to join the nationwide Martin Luther King Day of Service as part of the Biden-Harris Inaugural Celebration. Tenth Dems and Lake Dems, along with some township Democratic organizations and a labor union, are working to assist local food pantries and homeless shelters throughout Lake County and the 10th Congressional District (including suburban Cook County) by collecting donations of much-needed food, paper goods, and other items. You can help too!

Here’s what you do:

Click on one of these links to the mobilize website, the official Biden-Harris website for the Days of Service events, to find a food pantry or homeless shelter with drop-off locations convenient to you. You will also see a list of the items needed most by that organization.

Be sure to sign up at the mobilize website so we know you’re participating and we can have an idea of how many donations to expect for that organization.

Looking for another way to lend a hand? If you’re interested in helping with no-contact delivery of donated items from our drop-off point to the local organization, let us know by replying to this email.

With so much turmoil and pain experienced under the current White House, this time of year – the holiday celebrating Dr. King and the transition to a new president – is more meaningful than ever. We really hope you can join us in making things a little better for those in need right now, and start the Biden-Harris term with some much-needed compassion and empathy.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to flip the Senate from red to blue. In support of Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, our volunteers wrote and mailed about 40,000 postcards to Georgia voters and made countless phone calls during our twice-weekly phone banks. This is what grassroots activism looks like!

Whether you live in a Democratic neighborhood, have Republican family members you argue with over the holidays, or just like collecting political items, check out our merchandise page and get your Biden‑Harris or other Democratic swag. Each Biden-Harris bumper sticker and button is $1 apiece ($2 for other Democratic buttons), although we hope you’ll consider an additional contribution to help our grassroots team keep going!
