Starting January 12th, State Legislative Cracker Barrels and Legislative Coffees will be held around the state. These meetings are your chance to meet your state legislators, let them know how you feel about their votes in the Legislature, and ask them questions about where they stand on important issues. Be sure to attend those held in your area, and make sure your legislators hear your voice on economic fairness, education, equal rights, accountability, and other important topics. We’ll update as needed, and if you know of a cracker barrel that isn’t listed, just email us at info@sddp.org.
