Buncombe County Democratic Party

Democrats need to be more actively messaging and to overcome the makers of fake news with the truth! Join this ongoing group of writers working together on Letters to the Editor and Opinion Editorials. We’ll discuss the issues we care about most deeply and craft a plan to respond to events as they occur in real time. The group meets every other Monday for writing, responding to one another’s work, scheduling submissions and exploring media outlets across the state.
