Probably around two o’clock, it’s time to make some juice and get ready for a round of meetings that are coming up. Normally, in the afternoon I have meetings mostly about communications. So, we have a team of people called “Vote from Abroad,” and they run our website to help members and US citizens in general to register to vote. I have a meeting about communications in Germany, and once a month we have a caucus-leaders meeting where the various nine caucuses that we have in Democrats Abroad meet with the Global Chair just to let her know what we’re doing. Once a month we have a regional meeting for the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region. There’s a lot of different meeting I would have in the afternoon. And there’s always plenty of e-mails because we’re an international organization that’s all around the world. So, every time I go to sleep, there’s somebody who’s waking up sending an e-mail. It’s the global black caucus, so it represents the whole world. Our members are in 144 countries. E-mails about events that are taking place, e-mails arranging meetings, e-mails that have to do with political issues and sometimes just general friendly conversation.
