Become a Founder TONIGHT


Don't just be a member... be a founder.


When your adorable little grandchildren look up in your wrinkly old face and ask with that sweet little voice, "What did you do when you lived in Argentina at the turn of the century?"

What are you gonna say? "I chased a lot of cute bootée." "I ate a lot of huge cheap steaks." "I drank malbec 'til my eyes turned the same color."

NO!

You are going look down at the little cherubs and tell them that you made history.

You are going to be able to say that YOU FOUNDED the US Democratic Party in Argentina.

You are going to be able to point to that crinkly aging digital jpeg of you and your cohorts dedicating a plaque in a little park in Buenos Aires and tell them that it's still there for them to visit.

...but you have to show up. ...you've gotta pull your dissipated rump off the sofa and hail that taxicab and come to Thames 2334 in Palermo Viejo at 8pm on Wednesday and give a huzzah!

It's been a long time since Americans abroad have fought fascism. When you're old and gray, everyone will claim to have fired the first shot that brought the world back to its senses... but YOU will have proof.

Proof that you cared. Proof that you recognized evil when no one else did.

Proof that when history needed making... you were there.
