The Multnomah County Democratic Party is, from top to bottom, a 100% volunteer-driven organization. From the people who respond to inquiries to the brave individuals who spend their Octobers getting out the vote to the awesome people who answer emails, onboard volunteers, or write, design and produce for communications, we simply couldn’t function without people who believe in a kinder, healthier and more prosperous future.
Join us at a public event!
We welcome first-time and seasoned volunteers to come and join us at a public event. Whether we are standing up for democracy during this authoritarian time, or staffing a booth and listening to the community and making sure voters are registered as Democrats, we'd love to see you there. We post public events and volunteer opportunities here throughout the year.
