Hope to see you there!

We're very pleased that Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian will be our speaker when the CDCC meets on November 28!

Sheriff Koutoujian will speak about his innovative criminal justice work and his views on criminal justice reform in Massachusetts. These issues are important to many of us, and we will want to hear his ideas about what Democrats can do to promote this work during a statewide election year.

And as an extra bonus, we will hear from both declared Democratic candidates for Lieutenant Governor — Jimmy Tingle and Quentin Palfrey!

When and Where:

Tuesday, November 28 at 7:00pm (wards may meet at 6:30)

We are delighted that Cambridge's own Juliette Kayyem will be our speaker when the CDCC meets on September 28!

Juliette was President Obama's Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, following her tenure as Governor Deval Patrick's homeland security advisor. Currently she is the Belfer Lecturer in International Security at the Kennedy School, a regular on-air national security analyst for CNN, a weekly featured analyst on Boston Public Radio, and much more. 

Time for a quick disclaimer — the world is a crazy place, and Juliette is often called at the last minute to respond to breaking news. If that happens on September 28th, it will be the world's gain… but our loss! So let's hope that a certain pair of Dear Leaders with funny haircuts behave themselves near the end of September!

Come join us Thursday, September 28th at 7:00 PM in the Graham & Parks School Cafeteria.

When and Where:

Thursday, Sept 28 at 7:00 PM (wards may meet at 6:30)
Graham and Parks School Cafeteria
44 Linnaean Street

Agenda:

I. Approve minutes of previous meeting
