Flip it Blue!
When: Sunday, July 21st from 4-8 PM
Where: Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park and West 87th Street Parkway, Lackman Rd, Lenexa, KS 66215
Come celebrate freedom with us at our annual Flip It Blue event, JCDW South’s biggest annual fundraiser! The money raised at this event will go directly to state and local Democratic candidates.
This is the year we BREAK the supermajority in Topeka. So let’s celebrate with food, games, prices, and best of all, like-minded Democrats ready to take 2024 by storm! You’ll even have the chance to mingle with both elected officials and candidates.
Our THEME is “Put in Drive,” so come in with your car racing themed attire. Feel free to get competitive; prizes will go to the best themed outfit.
But wait, there’s more!
Flip it Blue is fun for the whole family. We’ve got balloons and cotton candy and a fabulous playground right next to the pavilion.
Tickets are $35 for members, $40 for nonmembers, but more is always welcome.
Early Bird Special: Early ticket sales help a ton when the caterer (this year, a food truck), asks for a head count. So, we’re offering 2 free raffle tickets for each Flip It Blue ticket purchased by Friday, June 30th.
We need your help to make Flip it Blue a success!
The Raffle and the Silent Auction are fan favorites every year, and they only work because people like you donate fabulous items! Here’s what we need:
For the Silent Auction – items valued at $100 or more (to be auctioned to the highest bidder).
For the Raffle – items valued between $25 and $50
Attention All Candidates!
Both JCDW North and South endorse Democrats running for state, county, and local offices who meet our endorsement criteria. You must be a member to apply for contributions. Cost is only $40 per year and must be paid out of your personal account. We endorse annually in August, after the primary.

SHOUT OUT to the VoterNetwork and Maryam Abid!
The Voter Network is dedicated to creating a culture of informed, enthusiastic Kansas voters. Relationship Canvassing is the art of asking your neighbors and friends (relationship) to register, making sure they are informed and vote. Friends asking friends increases turnout in every instance – for those who don’t typically vote – it’s an increase over 25%
ASK EVERY ONE TO REGISTER, CHECK THEIR REGISTRATION USING KSVOTES.COM
ATTEND JOCO CANVASSING TRAINING
Connecting new volunteers with experienced canvassers
helps to create social connections and cohesion in our organization.
Everyone should attend the canvassing training – at least to know how we are talking to residents of JOCO and maybe to refine how you approach your friends and relatives as well.
Our experienced canvassers have had a wide variety of training, and some have never had formal training. We now have a JoCo Dem Data Team that can utilize the data we collect at the door. If we want to collect valid and reliable data, we need to standardize our data collection methods across Senate Districts. Canvass Training Dates:
Saturday, June 15th, 2-4 PM – JOCO Dems Office
Saturday, July 6th, 2-4 PM – Central Resource Library, Carmack Room
FROM OUR FRIENDS:
Music Bingo for a Cause – Johnson County Pride event
JOCO Wear Orange Event- Moms Demand Action
