Happy Belated Earth Day!
There are tons of great Democratic and progressive events happening in Lubbock throughout the rest of April:
First and foremost, The Lubbock County Democratic Party, along with Lubbock Democracy for America and Texas Democratic Women of the South Plains are hosting a celebration of President Obama’s first 100 days in office! Here are the details:
First 100 Days Party
Murphy’s Pub @ 34th and Slide (3502 Slide Road)
7:00pm Wednesday, April 29
DFA and TDW members have put together an illustrated timeline of our favorite achievements of the first 100 days of the Obama administration which will be on display at the party.
Coming up the very next day is an exciting movie event:
Trouble the Water
Lubbock County Democratic Party HQ (2809A 74th St)
7:00pm Thursday, April 30
This Lubbock DFA-sponsored event is free to attend, but limited to the first 50 people who show up. Trouble the Water is an Oscar-nominated documentary (and winner of best documentary at Sundance) about a ninth ward family with camera-in-tow who endures Katrina and its aftermath, which continues to the present day. This is a powerful, critically acclaimed film that never made it to theaters in Lubbock.
Also, if you’re free this Saturday, two more events are happening. First, the Lubbock Democratic Party is having a trunk sale fundraiser (basically a large garage sale) at Party HQ:
LCDP Trunk Sale
