As threats to our democratic institutions intensify, the upcoming Dash for Democracy on August 18th takes on unprecedented significance. This annual event, now in its third year, is more than just a fun run—it's a powerful statement of our commitment to preserving and strengthening the foundations of our democracy.
In an era where democratic values are under overt attack from extremist elements, civic engagement has never been more crucial. The Dash for Democracy provides a unique opportunity for Denver Democrats to come together, reaffirm our shared values, and actively contribute to defending our democratic processes.
This year's event features a 5K run and a shorter walking route, catering to participants of all fitness levels. It's not just about physical activity—it's about demonstrating our collective strength and resolve. Local elected officials and candidates will join us, offering a chance for meaningful dialogue about the challenges we face and the actions we can take to protect our democracy.
Even if you're not running, your presence matters. Bring a lawn chair, join our cheer team and show your support. Every voice counts in our fight to maintain a just and free society. The proceeds from this event will directly support crucial Get Out The Vote efforts this fall, ensuring that every eligible voter can exercise their democratic right.
In these challenging times, the Dash for Democracy serves as a reminder that democracy is not a spectator sport. It requires active participation, vigilance and a commitment to civic engagement. By joining us, you're taking a stand for the values that define our nation.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to make your voice heard. Register now, order your event T-shirt before July 31st, and be part of this vital movement. Together, we can dash toward a stronger, more resilient democracy.
