BLOOMINGTON –– The Monroe County Democratic Party presents The 2024 Roosevelt Reception
on Wednesday, May 22.
The event will be held at Switchyard Pavilion at Switchyard Park, 1601 South Rogers Street, Bloomington, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
Your Monroe County Democratic Party renamed the Spring event to honor not only FDR’s legacy of founding the modern Democratic Party but also Eleanor Roosevelt’s voice as a global citizen and fighter for human rights.
In 1950, the former First Lady visited Indiana University to make her case for the role of the citizen in global affairs. The Monroe County Democratic Party honors that speech and her inspiration for everyday Hoosiers to pursue human rights for all.
First, meet the municipal candidates at Cocktail Hour at 6 p.m.
This year, the annual Eleanor Roosevelt Keynote speaker is Dr. Amrita Chakrabarti Myers, a history professor at Indiana University specializing in the Black female experience in the U.S. and the intersectionality between race, gender, and freedom.
Other speakers include:
- Gubernatorial candidate Jennifer McCormick
- Senate candidate Dr. Valerie McCray
- Attorney General candidate Beth White
- Former Congressman Baron Hil
- Indiana’s 9th Congressional District candidate Dr. Tim Peck
- State Senate (District 62) candidate Thomas Horrocks
The Roosevelt Reception has become Bloomington’s spring political event to gear up for the General election and to reassert the Democratic voice in state and national affairs. They thank sustaining donors to the Four Freedoms Circle and highlight good stories in turbulent political times. Sponsorships start at $250, with full tables at $1000. Democrats can be assured the Monroe Democratic Party will keep the city “Bluemington” for the coming terms and turn this around this election.
