I am excited to have our first Democracy On Tap event for 2026!   This is also the date of our first ever Democracy On Tap which was held on January 13th, 2025.

I can think of no better way to commemorate the first anniversary than to hold a benefit for an organization that helps folks in our community: The Way Station.

Credit for the idea goes to Representatives Anita Burroughs and Steve Woodcock.

Here are some details you need to know:

The purpose behind the cookie swap is to help raise money for the Way Station, which assists homeless people and families in the valley.

The cookie swap was envisioned as a way to get people to come to a fun event.  Those who wish to do so, can bring a batch of cookies.  Then, the attendees each get a bag/container to take a few cookies from each batch.

We would also be soliciting $40 gift cards, ideally from Market Basket, to enable Way Station clients to buy food and get out of the cold to get coffee or a cup of hot soup.  Checks would also be accepted...they can specify that the check is for gift cards, or for the general fund.

The fun starts at 6pm!  Please arrive early with your treats and to grab food and beverage.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Celebrating Democracy - 250 Years and Beyond!. The Jackson Public Library and the Whitney Community Center are partnering to launch a special 2026 series: Celebrating Democracy – 250 Years and Beyond! The first program in the series is Why Democracy? on Sunday, January 11th, from 4:00–5:30 pm at the Whitney Community Center.

Why Democracy? Democracy is often treated as an unquestioned good—the one political principle on which people across the ideological spectrum can agree. Yet its value has been challenged repeatedly throughout history. To understand democracy’s place in the modern world, it is essential to examine the arguments on which it rests. This involves clarifying what democracy is, considering why influential thinkers—both historical and contemporary—have distrusted it, and exploring the strongest contemporary defenses of democratic governance. This program is presented by Dr. Josh Duclos the 1923 Chair of Humanities at St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH and hosted by the Friends of the Jackson Public Library and the Friends of the Whitney Community Center as part of the Celebrate Democracy 250 Years and Beyond! series, is FREE, and runs Sunday, January 11th from 4-5:30 pm at the Whitney Community Center. No Limit. Not required, but to help us better plan Click Here to sign up.

ICE OUT OF MERRIMACK

THURS. JAN. 8 @ 7PM

Trump’s administration is eyeing Merrimack as a new location for an ICE-controlled warehouse, to detain immigrants.
As NH residents, we cannot let this happen.

To speed up deportations, the Trump administration plans to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses across the country, including in Merrimack, NH according to a story published Wednesday in the Washington Post.

The Jackson Dems will be tabling during the Jackson Jingle Jam at the Whitney Center in Jackson. All proceeds will go to the Way Station.

It's a music jam for the first hour where anyone can show up and we will all "jam" together to learn or rehearse as many songs as we can. No experience necessary and you can sing too! We will divide up into about 2-3 groups based on ability and we'll have help for each group to guide them. After the first hour, we'll all come together at 6pm for a community holiday concert that will go for about another hour. We hear Santa Claus may even show up to sing a few songs!

You've all heard about SNAP running out of funds on November 1st.  There are still billions of dollars in emergency funds available but Trump won't allow the Department of Agriculture to release those funds.  Today two different federal judges have nearly simultaneously ordered the Trump administration to release those emergency funds.  Fingers crossed.  In the meantime, our local Moultonborough food bank has depleted shelves.  Moultonborough Dems member Shannon Fairchild stopped into the Moultonborough food pantry this morning and saw that the shelves "are basically COMPLETELY BARE".  

On the totally wonderful side, Moultonborough youth librarian Sharon Gulla is already on it.  She spoke to the city and has organized a food drive.  You can drop off packaged food at multiple locations.  See the flier they created to get an idea of what they want and where you can bring it.  Moultonborough is generous.  No Bah Humbug here!
