Issues and Resolutions
Democrats fight for issues that impact everyone.
The Democratic Party brings together a diverse coalition of people with different and sometimes contradictory ideologies, motivations, and values. However, there are broad-based problems that all Democrats care about, problems that require both national and local solutions. That’s why organizations like the WCDP are so important. The WCDP’s commitment to the issues below is reflected in the party’s events, programs, community engagement, endorsements, and electoral politics. To further clarify its commitment to these issues, the WCDP’s Executive Board, County Committee, and its general membership have passed a number of resolutions, also listed below.
Grassroots Democracy
Local Economics
Environmentalism
Quality Education
Social Justice
Respect for Diversity
