Friend --</p>
<p>
The California Democratic Party (CDP) adopts a platform every two years. The Party's current platform was adopted at the annual California Democrats State Convention in 2016. The CDP Platform Committee is currently working on drafting our new platform, which will be considered and adopted at the California Democrats State Convention in 2018.
</p>
<p>
As such, we would like to make sure that you are aware of the CDP platform drafting process and welcome your participation in the process.
