Next Meeting Aug. 12
Welcome to the
Bay Area Democratic Movement
We are a club started by a group of grassroot activists who were looking for a way to do things differently and make an impact locally. We believe there is something for everyone at BADM from just socializing & meeting other like minded folks, to getting involved in running a local democratic headquarters, blockwalking, becoming a precinct chair/captain and working with a team to turn out voters, helping to screen candidates, attending meetings and learning about issues and hearing from elected officials. BADM even takes a very active role throughout the year by supporting and giving back to our local community schools, shelter for battered families and veterans. So please explore our site and thank you for visiting us!
