Please join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy grassroots community inspired by the "Yes We Can" Movement to engage Progressives, Democrats, Hope Mongers and Change Makers in political and civic participation, at our July Progress Party: “1st Thursdays” Career Networking Mixer with Bossed Up at their 2nd Annual “Boss of the Year” Party! Although this event is geared toward women, men who want to support the cause are welcome.

This is a party with purpose: a majority of proceeds from the event fund need-based scholarships for Bossed Up’s Bootcamp – the weekend-long program for women facing career transition.

Each year, hundreds of women take part in Bossed Up Bootcamp and five outstanding alums are nominated for Boss of the Year in recognition of the powerful ways they’ve transformed their lives #likeaboss!

Here are some good resources before you vote in Northern Virginia tomorrow. 

I have not been following these races very closely but from what I know of the candidates I think the endorsements are pretty solid.

Washington Post Endorsements
Alexandria Mayor, Arlington County Board, Fairfax Board of Supervisors

General Assembly

Blue Virginia Endorsements & Debate Videos

Arlington County Board (watch debate)

45th House District - Alexandria (watch debate)

Alexandria Mayor (watch debate)

Learn more about the Arlington and 45th House District candidates: 

https://vote.arlingtonva.us/elections
(includes list of their web sites)


State Voting Information
http://sbe.virginia.gov

You can read more endorsements in local newspapers like the Arlington Sun Gazette and Alexandria Times as well as use google to search for more candidate web sites, debates and other stories....although i am sure you have been inundated with plenty already.

It’s an “Aviators” Theme...so feel free to bring your coolest shades to pay tribute to the Biden family 

Come Early...for the appetizer buffet at 5:30pm and $2-off drink/food specials until 7pm

Stay Late...to win raffle prizes from Gryphon, Lost Society and Boomerang Pirate Ship

Please join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy community inspired by the "Yes We Can" Movement to engage Progressives, Democrats, Hope Mongers and Change Makers in political and civic participation, for our June rooftop "1st Thursdays” mixer in Dupont with free food courtesy of Sauf Haus and Runinout.com (here’s their own facebook event). 

This month we teamed with “Draft Biden 2016” PAC (here’s their own facebook event) to celebrate the viral awesomeness of our Vice President and show support for veteran’s families in honor of the Biden family’s commitment to their care. But in response to the sad news of the passing of Joe’s veteran son Beau we want to make this a truly special night to pay tribute to their service.

CAUSE OF THE MONTH: VETERAN’S FAMILIES
In honor of the Biden family, we’re inviting everyone to get involved in Joining Forces, Dr. Jill Biden’s initiative with First Lady Michelle Obama. 

Also, 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the White House-endorsed charity Fisher House. As you may have heard, the Biden’s have hosted Thanksgiving dinners with the veteran’s families that they help and the organization is the recipient of the Obama’s largest charitable donation in 2014. 

Feel free to give in Memory of “Beau Biden” and use the email “network4progress@gmail.com” to send your tribute and Fisher House will ensure your messages are forwarded to the Biden family.

+ HELP SEND FAIRFAX’S TOORA ARSALA TO THE YDA CONVENTION IN LA!
(watch his video & donate here)

Toora is an award-winning volunteer who is raising money to pay for his trip to the Young Democrats of America Convention in Los Angeles this summer where he is a candidate for Secretary of the Disability Caucus. Due to his medical issues he needs to buy a plane ticket and separate hotel room for his Mom as well so it is a costly endeavor for his family.

I recommend reading this Washington Post story then watch the Yale speech below that is even more poignant in retrospect as mentioned in the article: “Family losses frame Vice President Biden’s career”

WATCH: Joe Biden @ Yale Commencement  (start at 1:09:00)
(a summary of the speech’s great life advice for grads AND activists about the importance of relationships to success is in the VP’s Medium post)
