About Us
THE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN'S CLUB OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY |
|
is a band of sisters and a few brothers working tirelessly to promote Democratic values as the women's caucus of the Florida Democratic Party. Over the years, women such as those who participated in the Suffragette, Civil Rights and Women's March movements have played a vital role in pursuing democracy. We are inspired by the women who have led the way on issues such as voting, civil rights, equal pay and health care. We are motivated by the female advocates who are fighting to expand democracy in their own states and throughout the world. We are encouraged by the many young women preparing to carry the torch forward.
Because of their unbridled determination to pursue civil and human rights, thousands of nameless and often faceless women that came before us have made a difference. Their example and achievements inspire women to keep moving forward in that pursuit daily. Women will continue to play a key role in shaping the course of democracy. Please join us in making a difference. Let's turn SLC blue again, as it was before the 2016 election. Let's turn Florida blue while we're at it. Fill out an application and come to our next meeting. Help us as we seek to restore Democratic values to our community, our state, and our country. |
