Paint Marion Blue!

Join us on May 11, 2024 from 4-7pm at the Southeastern Livestock Center Auditorium for our Annual PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT Fundraiser!

We’re excited to welcome Brevard County School Board Member JENNIFER JENKINS as our Keynote Speaker!

Jennifer was the target of the “War on Woke” Moms For Liberty group, along with Rep. Randy Fine (R) and not only did she survive and thrive on the school board, she has become a voice of reason and strength for democracy and common sense. You won’t want to miss this!
