A huge thank you to everyone who braved the dark and cold to join us at tonight's Clintonville Area Progressives holiday party! And a special thanks to the elected officials and candidates who came to chat with our members (listed in the alt text below).

Come to our holiday party! We'll cover the first round of snacks thanks to donations from our members. That said, if the holiday season has you feeling generous, our most vulnerable neighbors are suffering due to the Trump GOP's SNAP cuts. A donation to the MOFB helps: mofc.org/get-involved...
