Join the Wake County Senior Democrats as we rally for 2026 Midterms, with a focused goal of reaching every single Registered Democrat over age 50 in Wake County and beyond. We will do the work of the Party from the comfort of our home, with our devices or computers and it is EASY and FUN!

We will be IN the zoom with you every step of the way.

Join southwest Raleigh Democrats reading edifying–and potentially subversive–literature. In September, we revisited George Orwell’s classic 1984.

That and it’s fun to discuss them with friends over a great cup of coffee in a newly reopened, beloved neighborhood cafe near NCSU.
In October, we’ll take on Abundance, by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. What favorite read do you recommend?
