Wake Dems 101 (Virtual)
2026-06-01 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual via Zoom
Welcome to Wake Dems
Curious about who we are and how you can help make a difference in Wake County? Wake Dems 101 is one of the best ways to get to know your local Democratic Party!
What You’ll Learn
Who we are → Meet your local Democratic elected officials, Party leaders, and neighbors
What we do → Learn how we organize, support candidates, and fight for our values year-round
How you can get involved → Discover volunteer roles that match your schedule, skills, and interests
Why It Matters
At Wake Dems, we take a data-driven approach to organizing. We partner with voting analytics experts to score every voter on how likely they are to 1) vote and 2) vote for Democrats if they vote.
We then focus most of our efforts engaging with high support, low turnout voters — folks who agree with us but don’t always make it to the polls. Our data shows we can triple turnout amongst voters we have a conversation with!
We hope to see you there!
We’re excited to connect with you and share more about who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved to make a difference!

Thanks again for fueling victories for candidates who share our values across every municipality in Wake County 🙏🏽
