Do you want a better economy that works for everyone? How about lower costs for working families? Investment in the middle class? And, would you like a stronger and more just future for every American?
If your answer to any one of these questions is “yes” then know you’re not alone. In fact, your ideals align with those of tens of millions of Americans — more than half of the nation — who vote with the Democratic Party.
More important than political identity is if you’re willing to dedicate energy, time and donations to promote those ideals of making permanent, positive changes.
One place you can begin is by joining others like yourself at your local Democratic Township Club.
Township clubs are grassroots organizations where ideas are formed, tested and in many instances rise through the Democratic Party to influence policy and new laws.
All Americans, no matter their political ideology, want the nation and their local communities to succeed. Differences arise in the “how” we get there.
Democratic clubs by design foster community growth and inclusion and represent many different points of view along the political spectrum. By working together to tackle issues of similar interest works to strengthen comradery and community bonds. It also empowers you to explore diverse solutions, influence local leaders and ultimately helps to ensure outcomes recognized as successful by the greater community.
Lack of community engagement leads to segmentation and feelings of being threatened by “other” groups. It also promotes a sense of isolation, resentment, anger, and we forget how to understand or empathize with our neighbors. But when you engage in your community it demonstrates to others, especially those who are unengaged, that you’re invested in everyone’s success.
Why I Joined My Township Club
“I always tell my children that the best solution is never a black or white one. The best solutions are always found in the gray. Unfortunately, our politics today is an ‘either-or‘ situation. A ‘my-way‘ or ‘no way,’ which has killed many good solutions. I want to help restore the gray so we all succeed. “
