January meeting location change.




The next meeting of the Democratic Party of Grant County will be held on Wednesday the 11th of January beginning at 6 p.m.  Our normal meeting spot at Berry Yo in Platteville, will be closed that week so the next meeting will take place at 100 East Main St, in Platteville,

There will be a lot to discuss at this meeting and we hope that all of you who are able, will attend.  There is a rather large agenda to go through but if all goes well, this should not be an overly-long meeting.

We hope that all of you have had a happy and joyous holiday season, and we look forward to sharing stories with you all.  Thank you for taking part and for being engaged and informed citizens.  Grant County is a much better place for having you here.

Women's March on Madison in January




This is a local event to march in solidarity with those going to Washington DC. If you are interested in connecting with Wisconsinites heading to the large march in Washington,  please head over to this page: https://www.facebook.com/events/208275672945652/ 

Women's March on Madison is the collective voice of all Wisconsin advocates for equality and inclusion. We are committed to fighting for the safety, health, and success of our communities. Let no voice go unheard. Let no one live in fear. Let all of us rise up for equal opportunity.

In solidarity with the Women's March taking place in Washington, DC, we will march peacefully in Madison, WI. 

We are coming together to demonstrate our support for the community members who have been marginalized by the recent US election.

This is an INCLUSIVE march, and EVERYONE who supports women's rights is welcome:

- Women & Girls & Femmes & GNC
- Men & Boys
- Families
- People of Color
- Immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees
- LGBTQIA+ Community
- People with Disabilities
