Democrats 2020

Democrats 2020 is a grassroots program aimed at turning the Democratic Party into a Powerhouse. Its short-term goal is to recruit thousands of new volunteers into the Democratic Party by the November 2020 General Election. Its long-term goal is to transform the Democratic Party into a party fully committed to the core democratic values of economic and social justice, human rights and environmental sustainability.

Dynamic Precinct Organizations

Our Vision

We see a nation of states, counties, cities and towns filled with energized, effective, and enthusiastic Democrats. These Democrats have created smartly led dynamic precinct organizations, which they like to call DPOs. In the America that we see, each and every precinct is home, to a Dynamic Democratic Precinct Organization.

DPOs are fully staffed and guided with wisdom. DPO members are busy with a wide variety of activities. Recruiting quality candidates, registering new voters, winning new supporters and delivering Democratic messages make up only part of what they are about. DPO members feel a strong sense of community and shared purpose. These Democrats are acting from a deep conviction that they can make a difference, that they can make life better in their communities, in their states and in their nation.

DPO members encourage each other, support each other, socialize and have fun together. Each member feels welcome and accepted. Members have lost their sense of powerlessness and isolation. When they are not involved in winning Democratic victories, they are often helping seniors, supporting kids and leading neighborhood improvement drives. DPO members know that their work is valuable and that their service is desperately needed. They know that good government will not be given to them. They know that they will have to go out and get it. They know that they are forming a powerful grassroots movement that is transforming their nation.

When they get together for meetings DPOs are organized and effective. Their teamwork is superb. Members know that their opinions are respected, and that they have an equal voice and an equal vote. Working in harmony, they realize that they are practicing democracy in its highest form.

Their efforts are already beginning to pay off. Highly qualified Democratic candidates are seeking and winning elected office. This is occurring in districts where Democratic wisdom has long been absent. Clean election laws, setting aside public funds for election campaigns, are being passed in state after state. The influence of private money is being removed from government. Tough labor laws with tough enforcement and stiff penalties are eliminating illegal labor practices. Workers are free to organize and bargain for good wages and benefits without fear of being fired. Employment and incomes are rising. All Americans have access to high quality affordable health care. All Americans have access to high quality publicly funded K-14 education. The environment is beginning to recover. America has become a land of opportunity and justice for all its citizens.
