Democratic Clubs are the grassroots of the Democratic Party. They are active in political issues, supporting endorsed candidates, and working on campaigns. There are clubs in different geographic areas of the county as well as clubs that are advocates for specific groups or issues. Most meet once a month, are present on social media, and send out email communications to their members. We encourage every Democrat to become a dues-paying member in one or more Democratic Clubs.

Only current officially-chartered clubs may call themselves Democratic Clubs per the authority of this body and the California Democratic Party.

Below is a list of official clubs with their contact information. They are the only approved Democratic Clubs in Monterey County.

Contact the club directly to learn about meetings, membership, and activities. Note that each club also has its own page, where you may view upcoming activities, and other types of information.

If you are interested in starting a new club, contact our Credentials Chair, Karen Araujo: KAraujo93901@gmail.com or 831-251-8663.

A Message from 2020 Census Steerjng Committee Cha A  Message from 2020 Census Steerjng Committee Chair Chris Lopez 
 
Last week President Trump issued a policy memorandum directing the U.S. Census Bureau to revise the final 2020 Census enumeration to exclude our undocumented immigrant community members from counting toward congressional apportionment. This action undermines our efforts to ensure a complete count by suppressing participation, politically manipulating census data and using fear to dissuade participation in this critically important survey.
 
Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that congressional representatives are to be apportioned based on counting the whole number of persons in each state. The term “persons” is defined as anyone living in the United States, regardless of race, gender, creed or immigration status.
 
At the July 23rd, 2020 Census Steering Committee meeting, Supervisor Luis Alejo and I, requested that County Counsel seek opportunities to support and participate in legal challenges against this memorandum. We have found that opportunity and joined in a suit to challenge this unconstitutional order.
 
Everyone of us, as partners of the 2020 Census Complete Count Committee, must continue to work to educate and empower our communities to be counted in the census.
 
Let us be clear that our message remains the same:
·  Personal responses collected by the Census Bureau must be kept confidential for 72 years
·  That means the Census Bureau can’t share your personal information with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), law enforcement agency, or any other government agency or court of law; it can’t be shared with your landlord; and it won’t affect any public benefits you receive.
·  Every person who lives in our community matters and must be counted in the 2020 Census. When you participate in the 2020 Census you are helping to make sure we receive the funding for important services our community and ensures we will have representation in Congress for the next decade.
·  We live here and demand our right to representation and federal funding by being counted. 
 
Thank you for your joining us...
Thank you Congressman @repjimmypanetta for signin Thank you Congressman  @repjimmypanetta for signing the petition for an independent investigation into fort hood. We are now 1 step closer to get justice for #VanessaGuillen.

We must never forget SPC Vanessa Guillén or cease honoring her memory.

No one should experience such pain or loss, which is why I am humbled to cosponsor legislation in Vanessa’s name in the fight to protect survivors of military sexual trauma.
