Who We Are

The Palm Springs Democratic Club (PSDC) is a growing group of concerned and committed citizens who are taking an active and vocal role in the political process. We created PSDC as a section 527 organization in July 2006 and meet monthly. We focus on Palm Springs because it is our home -- where we live out fundamental family values and care deeply about our loved ones, friends, neighbors, community and livelihood. We don't have dry, Robert's Rules type meetings. Instead, we combine political events in homes, businesses or community centers that lend themselves to featured speakers (such as City Council, Assembly or Congressional candidates), films or other types of programs along with social contact. Currently, we have more than 100members, are chartered under the auspices of the Riverside Democratic Committee and guided by a nine-member Board.

Our Mission

We have three simple primary goals:

To grow the number of Democratic registered voters in Palm Springs and to increase the number of Permanent Vote by Mail (PVBM) registered voters.
To maximize turnout of Democratic registered voters in all elections and primaries: municipal, state and federal.
To elect Democratic candidates.

Our Beliefs and Principles

We are committed to the following progressive beliefs and principles:

Social equality and equal opportunity, guided by a conviction that government should be used to pursue both.
A safe, secure America, fair wages, universal healthcare, first-rate education systems accessible to all, environmental policy that sustains the planet and human life on it.
A belief that the only role for the United States in world affairs is to practice foreign policy that reflects fundamental tenets of our Constitution, goodness of our citizens and irrevocable commitment to continuity of human existence.
A belief that we can best achieve these principles by actively working for them in our own city.
A belief that the government and citizens of Palm Springs face growing challenges in addressing homelessness, healthcare, environmental and energy matters, housing, development and quality of life issues.
A belief that activism and involvement in political processes are fundamental responsibilities of citizenship.
A community of Palm Springs Democratic registered voters where all can express their beliefs, promote their values and actively pursue a progressive society within our city.
A focus on voter registration and turnout because these are proven, direct methods to influencing outcome of elections.
