Activists
The Sun City Democrats Club Activists engage in activities that influence public opinion and public officials. If you are interested in participating in these efforts, please complete the Activist Interest Form.
ACTIVIST COMMITTEE STRATEGY
The Committee will be focusing on three areas, as stated below. We need people to help with the tasks associated with each of these areas. Can we count on you to help?
- Advocate for the election of Democratic candidates and public policies in line with WILCO and Texas Democratic Party platforms.
- Promote local voter registration to educate voters on Democratic values and issues.
- Address legislative and public policy issues with elected officials in the public square in meetings, communications, letters/calls, etc.
Our emails, phone calls, and other activities CAN have a real impact on the critical political issues facing us this year. Of course, we also face major election challenges in 2022, like Texas Governor and Attorney General, other statewide races, and important contests at local levels. There will be countless ways to support our Democracy, and with your help, we can do just that. Our activities get to the very heart of why we exist as an organization.
