Our Revolution Athens Area Progressives held its first meeting Saturday, Aug. 18 2018.
Finding its origins two years ago as a part of commissioner Mariah Parker’s and activist Tommy Valentine’s commission campaigns, Our Revolution’s local chapter officially broke off from the campaigns this June to continue on as a political force in elections to come.
Our Revolution’s first meeting saw members of the organization meet with officers to discuss plans for the upcoming campaign season and what would become the ideals and aspirations of the organization.
Hosted at co-founder and District 2 Commissioner Mariah Parker’s home, some 12 members met in the living room over bagels and conversation before the meeting kicked off.
In Athens at least, the Democratic Party has already proven open to collaboration with Our Revolution, with recently elected Gabriel Shippy, Athens-Clarke County Democratic Party’s community engagement chair, in attendance as a member.
“I think it’s great that we have crossover between [[[Our Revolution]] and ACCDP],” Shippy said. “I look forward to seeing us working together for the election and what’s to come.”
