Democrats Abroad Mexico - Costa Banderas Chapter
The official organization of the Democratic Party in Mexico
Democrats Abroad is the official Democratic Party arm for the millions of Americans living outside the United States. We strive to provide Americans abroad a Democratic voice in our government and elect Democratic candidates by mobilizing the overseas vote.
Democrats Abroad provides the following benefits:
• Help Americans abroad vote in U.S. elections.
• Protect the right to vote for Americans abroad.
• Work with US government officials and elected representatives to advocate for issues that concern Americans abroad
• Work with the broader Democratic Party to achieve our goals.
• Build communities of like-minded Americans around the world.
• Help elect Democrats in every congressional district in the U.S.
• Advocate for legislation to expand the voting rights of Americans Abroad
Democrats Abroad is a 100% volunteer-run organization, with active chapters across six continents and members who vote in every U.S. state and congressional district. Costa Banderas is one of the eight chapters in Mexico.
One of our main goals is to educate U.S. citizens in the Costa Banderas area on how to be able vote in elections. It’s important to elect Democratic candidates and protect our democracy. We provide information about upcoming important and threatening legislation and help organize campaigns to contact government officials such as the misnamed “SAVE America Act” that would severely suppress women and overseas voters.
We work hard and we have fun, also. Besides voter registration drives and advocacy work for Americans abroad, we also hold events such as 4th of July parties, and other regular social activities. Those looking to lead can run for elected Democrats Abroad positions and/or volunteer to organize new initiatives. There are many opportunities!
Would you like to volunteer? We are always looking for volunteers to help plan and organize events, to recruit new members and to educate voters. Click HERE to contact us to volunteer. Democrats Abroad Costa Banderas is a non-profit; we rely on donations to help our Get-Out-The-Vote efforts, including support for Vote From Abroad Centers. You can donate at DemocratsAbroad.org.
