GW COLLEGE DEMOCRATS
We are the largest and most active chapter of College Democrats in the nation.
We are on the frontlines of history, fighting for progress.
GW College Democrats are committed to a progressive agenda. Through campaign trips, community service, panel discussions, protests, and other mediums, we are not going to slow down.
POUNDING THE PAVEMENT
Campaigning is more than just knocking doors: it is an opportunity to positively interact with the communities that need progressive advocates most. By heading out of our local community to work with presidential, congressional, gubernatorial, and local candidates throughout the United States, we are committed to help elect progressive advocates up and down the ballot
ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE
Being in D.C., GW College Democrats is at the center of advocating for the issues that matter to us most, from hosting events and conversations, attending protests, and organizing lobbying days: GW College Democrats take a front seat in advocating for progressive issues.
HOSTING GUEST SPEAKERS
In the heart of our nation’s capitol, we welcome the best and brightest political minds to our GW campus. From Jim Clyburn to Bernie Sanders, Chasten Buttigieg to Marianne Williamson, Jon Favreau to Dana Bash, we are proud to continue a tradition of connecting our membership and the GW community with Democratic activists, elected officials, and industry leaders.
TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION
From campaign boot camps, trainings to lead and inspire women to run for office, to learning field operations and working on campaigns, or helping them find internships to hone in their skills, we help train the next generation of political leaders.
PARTNERSHIPS
From working with NARAL Pro-Choice America to campaign for pro-choice candidates, fundraising for Planned Parenthood to defend women’s health, to working with the Center for American Progress on equipping young people with the tools to take action and many more, GW College Democrats has worked alongside some of the leading progressive organizations in the nation to create change.
FOSTERING BIPARTISAN DIALOGUE
As Democrats, we value the importance of hosting conversations and fostering dialogue on campus. This is why we work to host debates between us and the GW College Republicans and other conservative organizations to have honest conversations about issues such as policy, legislation, governing, and more to try and find common ground and hear viewpoints from both sides.
