After a hard-fought and historic campaign this spring, the Democratic Party continues to come together behind Barack Obama to work for victory in November. The joint appearance by Barack and Sen. Hillary Clinton in Unity, NH, is only the first of many events to come.
These events will demonstrate how committed all Democrats are — regardless of which candidate they might have supported during the primaries and caucuses — to bringing about the change America so desperately needs.
The schedule below is offered for your guidance; it is not final. Times and formats may be adjusted, and other events may be added as the campaign progresses, depending on strategic considerations and the availability of the various principals.
One thing we’re sure of, though: After Unity, there will still be plenty of unity.
