Bangor Dems plan events for young voters

BANGOR – The Bangor office of the Maine Democratic Party’s “Victory 2008 Coordinated Campaign” is joining with The Exchange, a Hampden business, on a series of Friday night events aimed at engaging the community, particularly those under age 25, in the political process.

The Friday night events will be held at the party’s Bangor office at 73 Central St. From 4 to 6 p.m., young people are invited to take part in youth-to-youth Call Nights, in which volunteers will call other young potential voters and urge them to vote for Democrats in the November election.

Afterward, at 7 p.m., a weekly event will aim to engage both the young volunteers and any other community members who want to attend. The events will include performances by local musicians, film screenings and discussions, political forums, candidate nights and art exhibitions.
