The Halifax Democratic Town Committee is hosting a forum on affordable housing Sunday,

Help grow network
The Marshfield Democratic town committee needs your help growing awareness in our communities. Many communities no longer have local papers, so it is hard for people to find out what's going on and get involved. That is why the Marshfield Democratic cone committee is asking you to share content in your personal network and neighborhood.
A great way to help is to email an invitation to the event to people you know who might be interested. The committee has created a PDF that can be sent through any email system as an attachment. (click here)

Sharing the content on social media platforms is always helpful. There are two ways you can do this: either by sharing an image or a post from the committee.

Getting the word out the old-fashioned way in the community, a person-to-person contact is easily the most effective way to build awareness. For this reason the committee has created flyers and palm cards that you can distribute. These are available for download in both color and black and white.
