27 Dollars
27 Dollars is a Senator Bernie Sanders appreciation group and community. We are folks committed to progressive, grassroots activism in local, regional, state, and national Democratic politics. We are not concerned with keeping the primary pie wars going, but we are concerned with the Democratic Party being the place for working persons to hang their collective hats. We believe wholeheartedly in both social and economic fairness -- we cannot have one without the other. In short, we want the Demo...

Backyard Science
Phenology is a science that anyone can practice without a lab coat, microscope, or PhD. It's the study of seasonal events such as first flowers, appearance of certain butterflies, etc. People have tracked these dates for decades -- even centuries -- and now there's a place on DK to record your own observations. A casual spot to tell what you're seeing in the park down the road or in your own back yard.

We as a party and a movement need to reflect on the fact that we actually need candidates on the ballot to win elections at the local level. Many offices run unopposed.

Firearms Law and Policy
To advocate effectively for repeal or passage of firearms legislation we must first know and understand current law and policy, and how both are implemented, where we live.
