As we gear up to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2020, we want everyone to get more involved in the Miami Beach Democratic Club! Ready to level up? Here are some of the things you can do:

Become a Member

Member dues keep the club running, so that we can help elect Democrats to all levels of political office. You can pay your $25 annual dues in person (cash, check, or credit) at our meetings, or on our website. Not sure if you're paid up? Email our club secretary Victoria Vilamil ([email protected]) to find out.

Become a Neighborhood or Building Organizer

Neighborhood and Building Organizers work in their voting precinct or condo building to build relationships with other Democrats. They serve as the friendly face of the Democratic Party, answer neighbors’ questions, and make sure that other registered Democrats are prepared and excited to vote on Election Day!
