The Sarasota County Democratic Party is a volunteer organization. We have many opportunities here in North Port - remember, grassroots, local organizing is the THE MOST EFFECTIVE way to bring change.

Volunteers can take many actions to inform, engage and motivate voters to support Democratic candidates and issues. These are just a few ways to defend democracy at a dark time. As we move through the upcoming election cycle, there will be many volunteer opportunities- sign up for the Sarasota County Democratic Newsletter to get a weekly email or go to Mobilize to see all opportunities.
Here are some of the ways you can help during election season:
1. Outreach to neighbors—Neighbor 2 Neighbor (N2N): Enlist Dems to speak to their neighbors—Dems and NPAs and moderate Republicans-- give election information & encouragement to vote. Invite neighbors to social get togethers and expand from there to include No Party and all Moderate voters. We provide street lists, information and consult. Contact Area 5 Leader with your interest.
