Multicamera Livestream Announcment

Fellow Democrats,

Our county party continues to grow in energy, talent, and purpose. As we look ahead to the coming year, we are committed to strengthening our transparency, accessibility, and community engagement. With that in mind, we want to share an important update about how we will conduct our monthly meetings moving forward.

Beginning next month, all regular monthly meetings will be livestreamed on YouTube and recorded using multiple camera angles, including views that may capture audience members. These recordings will be publicly available for members, supporters, and community partners who cannot attend in person.

Why We Are Making This Change

Our decision is rooted in a simple goal: grow the county party and expand our reach. Livestreaming and recording our meetings help us do that in several key ways:

- Accessibility for busy members
 Many of our supporters juggle work, family, and community commitments. Livestreaming allows them to stay informed and engaged even when they cannot be physically present.

- Transparency that builds trust
 Open access to our discussions and decisions demonstrates that we are a party committed to accountability and openness. This strengthens confidence among current members and encourages new people to get involved.

- A welcoming entry point for newcomers
 People who are curious about the party often hesitate to attend their first meeting. Public recordings give them a low‑pressure way to learn who we are, what we do, and how they can participate.

- A stronger digital presence
 Growing a modern political organization requires meeting people where they are—online. Regular video content helps us reach younger voters, new residents, and community members who may not yet be connected to our work.

- Better storytelling and outreach
 Multi‑camera recording allows us to highlight speakers, presentations, and community voices in a more engaging way. These clips can be used to promote events, celebrate successes, and showcase the work our volunteers do every day.

What This Means for Meeting Attendees

Because cameras will capture the room from multiple angles, audience members may appear in the livestream or recording. We want everyone to feel comfortable and informed, so signage will be posted at meeting entrances, and we will make announcements at the start of each meeting.

If you prefer not to be on camera, seating options will be available outside the primary filming area.

A Step Toward a Stronger, More Connected Party

This change reflects our commitment to building a county party that is modern, accessible, and ready to grow. By opening our doors wider—both in person and online—we strengthen our ability to organize, educate, and inspire. Follow our YouTube page to access these recordings.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our shared values and to the future of our community. Together, we are building something powerful.

In solidarity,
Linda Lasiter, Chair
