David and Charles are hitting the road for a two week trip kicking off Action Days with CP Team Leads and State Partners in Montana, Minnesota, Illinois, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and more. We’ll be socially distancing and wearing masks, and still very committed to showing appreciation and showing up in solidarity with our extended community across the country.
We know.. it’s kind of crazy but that’s how high the stakes are in 2020. We’re leaving it all on the field and we’re inviting you to join us on this exciting journey!
First stop…
Montana
CP's Montana Team Leads Katie and Teigan showed Charles and David a cool downtown park in Missoula, introduced them to "Mookies" (cookies baked in the shape of a muffin), and provided compelling windows into their values, life in Montana, and our democracy. (This is a 2 part interview)

We met up with Maggie in Minnesota! Maggie is a rockstar lead with CP handling coordination among all of CP Team leads and leading Team Minnesota.
