Give to the cause
Everyone knows that it costs money to run a campaign, but we don't always think about how much it costs to run a local party. When you donate to your local Democratic Party, you know your contribution will help candidates and causes that are important to us right here in western North Carolina. In 2022 we are making a major push to get our message out in new ways. We will be printing and mailing sample ballots, postcards and candidate brochures to voters and training our many new volunteers. We were able to get 1000 additional Polk Democrats out to vote with our 2018 midterm Voter 2 Voter program! We must do that again! Every little bit helps. Please donate today. |

Demonstrate
Sometimes the best way to take action is to march, demonstrate, or protest for or against something that we feel strongly about. Whether it's rallying in support of immigrants in Hendersonville, standing up for climate justice in Asheville, or taking part in the Women's March in Washington, DC, you can do it with the support of fellow Polk NC Dems.
Attend Party events
We host candidate forums, debate watch parties, holiday events, rallies, and occasional VIP dinners. These events are fun and educational, and they allow us to spend time with like-minded Democrats.
Show up at meetings
All of our meetings are open to everyone, and we promise you a warm welcome. You can help us plan our strategies and activities. Check the Calendar page for all upcoming meetings and events.
Volunteer
We're always doing something - but especially during election season. You can do as much or as little as you like. Register voters. Get involved with your precinct. Go door-to-door talking to voters. Make phone calls or send text messages. Staff the party booth at the 4th of July event. There is much to do, and it is important. We need you! Contact Linda Knippa, our 1st Vice Chair, to express your interest.
