Take Action Today!

Ever since the 2016 election we’ve received an influx of people asking what they can do to help and get involved.  Well, there’s a lot you can do.

The Fairfax County Democratic Committee is here all year long, and we continue to organize, advocate and grow.  We’re involved in just about every aspect of public life, with sub-committees devoted to issues or constituencies such as Voter Registration, Communications, Diversity, National Affairs, and more.  Sign up here to receive updates about local Democratic activities.  Visit our Contact Us page to find the leaders of each committee.  Visit our Calendar regularly to find Democratic and progressive events or to add your own event.
With the actions coming from the Republican White House, many of our supporters are now even more fired up to fight for causes and for people who have been under attack.  Below is a list of some organizations, both political and nonpartisan, who are working right here in Virginia that you can also get involved with.  The list is by no means comprehensive but may serve as a starting point.  We’ll update it periodically and you can email us if you have a suggestion.
