Frisco Democratic Club condemns the brutal murder of George Floyd
--------------------------------------------------
Frisco Democratic Club condemns the violent and heinous murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and all those who seek justice at this time of unquestionable injustice.
As we here in Frisco and around the country discuss how to move forward, we cannot and will not ignore the generations of systemic racism that Black Americans have faced throughout our history. Enough is enough -- it is past time for America to live up to our ideals and take the necessary steps to create a truly fair and equitable society. Those steps should include a national plan for police reform and support for the many officers who honorably protect and serve their communities every day.
The first step is to listen to the communities and citizens impacted most by racism and injustice. To help heal our country, we call on anyone and everyone with the privilege and ability to make a positive difference to do just that.

Frisco Democratic Club Proudly Supports "VOTE FOR EVERY DEMOCRAT" Initiative...
DID YOU KNOW? Texas no longer allows a traditional "straight ticket" option on the ballot starting in 2020. But we aren't going to let that stop us. We're telling people "Don't stop at the top! Vote for every Democrat." When we put a Democrat back in the White House, let's make sure they are supported by Democratic leaders at every level of government.
Join the cause!
