John Mitchell Dinner

We honor John Mitchell for standing up for working Americans and helping to create a strong middle class. As the first two-time president and a founder of the United Mine Workers of America, John Mitchell championed safe working conditions, a 40-hour work week, and worker compensation. John Mitchell fought for the rights we now find ourselves having to fight for once again. As Democrats, we need to come together to celebrate our legacy and to commit to one another our willingness to stand side-by-side, just as John Mitchell did with his brothers, to protect our rights; to protect ourselves, our brothers and our sisters from the corporate greed intent on taking away our bargaining rights, dismantling the social safety net, and destroying the middle class. To protect our rights and our democracy, we must elect strong candidates willing to stand with us in this fight. Help the Bureau County Democratic Party elect pro-working class, pro-democracy candidates, up and down the ballot, by attending the John Mitchell Dinner.

The “John Mitchell Dinner” is the primary fundraising effort of the Bureau County Democratic Central Committee. All donations collected through this event go directly into our “Get Out the Vote” campaign to elect our Democratic candidates.
