Government Watch
Be informed at the federal, state and local levels.
The new Chagrin Gateway Democrats Government Watch Committee met this winter to begin mapping out our plan to cover every corner of government from Washington to Woodmere.
We are still in need of members—as there is so much to accomplish. A priority need this month is identifying volunteers to attend local government meetings, take notes and report back. This week, we’ll be adding a new list of local government meetings to our website—some with streaming options. (Thank you to Kristina D. for pulling this data together).
To sign up for a regular Government Watch email with details on government meetings, action steps, and more, please sign up today.
To learn more about the committee or join, please email info@chagringatewaydems.com.

Why It Matters: What is the S.A.V.E Act Really Saving?
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (S.A.V.E.) Act, which passed the House and is currently stalled in the Senate, is a bill that mandates proof of citizenship to register to vote. Does not sound like a bad thing. We only want citizens to be voting right? The problem is how people are being asked to prove citizenship.
Why It Matters: Do Protests Matter?
I spent most of Saturday morning standing in the drizzle with my husband and 1,200 of my neighbors at the STAND! While We Can! rally, waving our soggy protest signs at the drivers around Lander Circle.
April 2025 Meeting Recap
On April 3 the Chagrin Gateway Dems were treated to an evening that was at once both inspiring and thought-provoking. Three engaging speakers enlightened us about the true cost of the changes in education funding and policy.
