Media Advisory: Democratic-NPL Day of Service and Inauguration Schedule
BISMARCK, ND — The North Dakota Democratic-NPL is partnering with the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) to host service events on the National Day of Service. This day, celebrated on January 18, 2021, is a day to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to give back to our communities.
The Dem-NPL is hosting a statewide “Virtual Food Drive” to raise funds for the Great Plains Food Bank and is writing and distributing Notes of Gratitude to frontline workers across North Dakota.
From Democratic-NPL Chairwoman Kylie Oversen:
“We know that the past year has been difficult for many residents in our state and we wanted to find opportunities to lift that burden, even in a small way. The Dem-NPL invites North Dakotans of all political stripes to participate and give back to their communities.”
