Democratic Volunteer Center

Save 3 supreme court seats in PA
2025-09-30 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
Join Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, together with PA Democratic Party executive director Mitch Kates and field director Kait Ahern, to learn about a November 4 election that will have major consequences for the 2026 and 2028 races in this crucial swing state.

Three Democratic judges are on the ballot; voters will vote “yes” or “no” on retaining them on the court. The right wing is pouring money into this race to flip the seat, and many Democrats do not realize how important this election is. A MAGA state supreme court could greenlight a gerrymander of blue House seats into red ones and make sure there is no judicial oversight to challenge Republican election-rigging schemes in 2026 or 2028.

This online event, brought to you by the Peninsula Democratic Coalition and the Democratic Volunteer Center, will provide an overview of the race and opportunities to support the candidates.

In-person phone bank for VA candidates (SD)

Join Sister District CA Peninsula for an in-person phone bank in Burlingame, California, to elect Democrats Kimberly Pope Adams, Jessica Anderson, and Lindsey Dougherty to the Virginia House of Delegates!

Enjoy coffee, snacks, and conversations. Bring your laptop and phone.

Why phone bank: The data proves it: phone banking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters, speak with undecided voters, and recruit local volunteers. Every call helps us clean our lists, which makes for a faster, more efficient phone bank!

Come one, come all: No experience necessary. Each phone bank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). And it’s so much fun to phone bank in person with other callers!

Measure A & Santa Clara County Healthcare
2025-10-12 11:00 - 12:00 | First Congregational Church of Palo Alto, 1985 Louis Rd., Palo Alto, CA, 94303, United States
Join Santa Clara County executive James R. Williams for an in-person talk about the exceptional value of the unique Santa Clara County healthcare system and the crisis the county faces because of federal funding cuts. The county and community have responded to the crisis by putting Measure A on the November 4 ballot. Measure A would enact a 5/8-cent sales tax that would be in place for five years to help mitigate the damage the federal budget cuts have created. Whether you have insurance or not, you will be affected by these cuts if you live in Santa Clara County: lack of access to services, longer wait times, reduced emergency care.
