Our goal in starting this club was to have a vehicle where we could provide activism opportunities for members of our community who share our values of Inclusion, Equity, Justice, Compassion, and Environmental Protection.
​
Our objectives are to:
-
To contribute to the growth and influence of the Democratic Party, by building and organizing capable and experienced leaders and volunteers.
-
Foster Democratic ideals by: stimulating an active interest in the Democratic Party; contributing to party leadership and responsibility; providing constructive roles for volunteers in Democratic politics; and promoting an active base.
-
Publicize and support endorsed candidates and causes with an aggressive campaign.
-
Obtain charter from the Contra Costa County Democratic Party.
-
Maintain communication with our local city and county and state representatives for the purpose of encouraging Democratic views and goals and to disseminate information from those representatives to our members.
