What You Can Do

Join us in helping our community do better so we all thrive!

Do as much as you can. Some days, you’ll be able to do more, some less. Every action you take will make a real impact, and your efforts are vital for upholding accountability and ensuring that our elected leaders serve “we, the people,” instead of themselves.

Chart showing increase in Democratic votes in Montrose County since 2016

We have had successes, and we will have more. We went from Democrats at the top of the ballot, getting 5,600 votes in 2016, to 7,600 in 2020, to 8,400 in 2024.  A constant drip of action can grow into a powerful river that will allow us to keep turning Montrose County a little bluer every year. That is our goal.

Democrats, progressive Independents, and everyone who wants to preserve our democracy can be inspired and motivated to take positive action.  

Here’s how you can make a change:

  • Attend our events to meet other Democrats and discuss critical issues with like-minded people.
  • Invite your friends and neighbors to our events.
  • Attend our monthly meetings to learn how the MCDP operates.
  • Become a Precinct Organizer in your neighborhood.
  • Stay informed of critical issues and legislation.
  • Call, email, write, and visit your elected officials.
  • Become a Gold Member to provide ongoing support.
  • Write a Letter to the Editor of our local newspaper.
  • Take part in peaceful rallies and marches.
  • Share your time and talents with Montrose Democrats.
  • Join our group on Facebook and share our posts on your timeline.
  • Commit to voting in every election.
  • Donate to the Montrose County Democratic Party to educate and empower voters and help elect Democratic candidates in local, state, and national elections.
  • Host a “Meet the Candidate” event in your home.
  • Participate in the Democratic Caucus every two years.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world.
In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. (Barack Obama)

The Democratic Party is the oldest continuing party in the United States.

Today, we are millions of supporters strong, fighting for progress and helping elect Democrats across the country to state government, Congress, and the White House.

There are several core beliefs that tie our party together: Democrats believe that we’re greater together than we are on our own—that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. Our party is focused on building an economy that lifts up all Americans, not just those at the top.

That’s why Democrats are working to make progress on issues like job creation, equal pay, education, health care, and clean energy.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 8, 2022... now, more than ever, YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
