WHY BECOME A MEMBER OF SOCIAL DEMOCRATS HARRIS COUNTY?
​
The Democratic Party has been described as a party of groups or coalitions. And admittedly, Corporate America has also found its unfortunate place from within. In 2020, the Democratic Party successfully worked together and elected Joe Biden as President, as well as captured majorities in both the House and Senate. In 2024, those groups failed to work together for various reasons.
​
In order to help provide a framework of agreement across groups within the Democratic Party, Social Democrats Harris County hopes to stay on point in messaging by creating a political formation through which broad social democratic policy and ideas can be articulated and achieved, advancing our pillars that democracy is prime, science is our guide during national crises, (for example, COVID and the current climate crisis), and the creation of social programs that benefit and favor the working and middle classes, and through this, we can achieve the broad goals of a more humane and egalitarian society. Ultimately, we hope to establish the dignity and self-worth of every individual member of our society, independent of one's age, race, creed, gender identity and economic class. If you agree with our above statements, then you too, are a social democrat.
​
By joining our cause, you help make such a political formation possible.
