Nuts & Bolts—Inside the Democratic Party summer DNC meeting

Welcome to Nuts & Bolts. A few times a year, this series looks beyond campaigns and to the makeup of the party itself, the rules, resolutions, proposals and general outlook that shape what the party wants to be for the future. The Democratic Party, like everything in our life, will change and grow as our understanding and our society change and grows. It is a healthy and important part of making sure that we stay in tune with the voters we need every November. It is also an opportunity to look at our country in a moment and address new problems that may not have existed five, 10, 15, or 20 years ago. 

There are a lot of items that come up at a DNC meeting, and this week, we’re going to talk about the proposals that came before the body and what they mean. Included, you’ll find links and some discussion about what comes next for the Democratic party! If you are in Washington, D.C., and want to attend, here is the schedule, and remember: Our party meetings are open to the public.
