Down Ballot Brunch

Join us for an afternoon of delicious food, thoughtful conversation, and small actions that make a big impact! At Down Ballot Brunch, we gather to explore the important races and issues happening at the local and state level—the ones that often fly under the radar but shape our communities the most.

Why "Down Ballot"?

Because every vote counts! Sometimes the top of the ticket isn’t the most exciting, but there are crucial decisions further down that deserve your attention. Let’s make sure every part of your ballot is as powerful as your voice.

Why Brunch?

It’s simple—you’ve got to eat! And what better time than brunch to sit down with friends, share ideas, and dive into the issues that matter to our cities and states. Whether you’re a seasoned politico or just curious, there’s a seat at the table for you.

What to Expect:

- Eat: Enjoy some delicious bites from some of our favorite local eateries.

- Chat: Engage in open, respectful, and thoughtful conversations about local and state politics.

- Act: Small actions create big changes. After our discussion, we’ll all commit to doing something—whether it’s texting a friend about voting, emailing a local official, or hosting the next brunch!

Who’s Invited?

Everyone! Down Ballot Brunch is for anyone who believes in curious, productive conversations. We’re a nonpartisan space, but proudly pro-Black, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-immigrant, pro-choice, pro-student debt reform, pro-Indigenous sovereignty, and pro-gun reform. If that resonates with you, pull up a chair!

RSVP Today!

Let’s come together, eat, chat, and act to create the change we want to see in our communities. We can’t wait to brunch with you!
