There's no doubt that Alabama is one of the "reddest" states in the country, but that didn't stop over 150 Birmingham residents from stepping out and showing their support for their candidate, Hillary Clinton. The conversation and the friendship flowed through Chez Lulu in Cahaba Heights while everyone talked about the issues and had good fun while they did it.
Josh Coleman, Birmingham Volunteer Coordinator for the Clinton Campaign and General Manager of Chez Lulu planned the party and put the word out over Facebook. "We reached out solely over Facebook. We planned a big night for all involved and we intend to all work together to achieve our goal - Getting Hillary Clinton elected."
Among those in attendance were several familiar faces on the Alabama political scene - Including State Senator Rodger Smitherman, State Representative Patricia Todd and President of the Alabama High School Democrats Association, Emma Turner. All three brought their own experiences and sensibilities to their speeches and the room reacted warmly every time.
Chez Lulu offered a one-time-only food and beverage menu to commemorate the night. You could find such items like the "Madam President", "Pennsylvania Avenue" and "The Democrat" all over the party.
Supporters went all-out on showing their support for Clinton.
Some attendees were no strangers to getting involved in politics, while others were just now dipping their toe in the water of making their voice heard. The Human Rights Campaign, who has already endorsed Clinton - Sent three representatives to the party to distribute materials and to lend their support.
The party may have evidently left a big enough mark on Alabama. Hillary Clinton herself just announced yesterday she will be visiting the Magic City Saturday afternoon. If you would like more information on the campaign or her visit, click here.
