Our first Dallas Kossack Meet-up in over a year is now under our belt and was a success! It was a small group, 3 Kossacks and a Lurker (who will hopefully join the Great Orange Satan soon, mwaa-ha-ha-ha!). But that's where we will build from - the ground up!
If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and looking for quality progressive company, please join us for the next meet up:
When: May 23rd at Noon for lunch!
Where: Ojeda's Mexican Restaurant
4617 Maple Avenue
Dallas, TX 75219
(214) 528-8383
Why: Margaritas, fajitas, burritos and other fine quality progressive company!!
We Dallas Kossacks are committed optimists and we are preparing for marriage equality to arrive in Dallas on the heels of a June Supreme Court ruling. So we will use this meet-up to plan for celebrations when Dallas County launches marriage equality. Come meet up with us and help us prepare to give couples a Texas congratulations on their unions!
We will also be looking at other areas of activism we want to be involved with. Don't miss out!
We had a great time this go round, go beneath the fold to learn more!

For our first Meet-up we kept it social for the most part. We discussed our histories in activism and what got us involved. Our lurker, CJ, had some questions about how Daily Kos works and we were happy to explain the basics. Some of the topics discussed were fracking, trans teens, LGBT activism, police violence, increasing the minimum wage and income inequality. We also got to know each other a little bit.
It's always a treat and privilege to meet fellow progressives. I personally feel right at home with them almost immediately. I had a great time and I believe everyone else did as well.
So come see us on May 23rd at Ojeda's!!!
