California Democratic Council: News

Welcome to the California Democratic Council!

CDC is the statewide umbrella organization for California's Democratic Clubs.

We provide training, resources and guidance for existing and new clubs.

"I have always regarded the California Democratic Council as one of the
United States' most important centers of citizen participation in politics."
President John F. Kennedy

Taking it to the streets!

Lake County Stonewall Democratic Club recently did their civic duty by participating in the Adopt-A-Highway program.

Here they are at the Clearlake Oaks Cal-Trans Yard ready to deploy and showing off their banner (free from CDC)!

This is exactly the type of activity our clubs should be involved in on a regular basis. We need to be visible within the community, not only seen protesting or fighting against issues, but also helping the community.

CDC Archives

Since CDC has been around since the early 1950s, we obviously have a lot of memorabilia.

To properly catalog it all and make sure it is safely preserved, CDC Controller (Steve Cummings) has taken on this task.

We want to thank Steve for this important role he's playing in making sense of the 50+ years of CDC memorabilia we've accumulated!
