Democratic National Committee, March 27, 2025

Posted on March 27, 2025

MEMORANDUM

TO: Interested Parties

FROM: The Democratic Party

DATE: March 27, 2025

Your Feedback for Democrats →


Over the past two weeks, our team sent around a feedback form asking supporters what they’d like to see the DNC do and what changes or initiatives they’d like to see us prioritize.

More than 30,000 people took the time to share their feedback. We’ve analyzed the data and compiled the top results — and here’s what we found.

The majority of survey respondents would like the DNC to prioritize:

Communication Strategy

Building a stronger, in-depth, and more visible communication strategy, including sharing more content that emphasizes Democratic values and what the DNC is doing — not just in fighting back against Trump but also on how we’re building our Party for the long-term.

Suggestions included modernizing our media outreach to connect with younger audiences. Additionally, supporters would like to see more targeted outreach, including hearing more from the DNC about opportunities to get involved where you are, and the opportunity to provide more feedback to help strengthen the Democratic Party as a whole.

Investments in Organizing:

Respondents said they would like to see the DNC expand its investments in year-round grassroots and community-based organizing. This is something we’ve already begun at the direction of our new Chair Ken Martin, making investments in the Wisconsin and Florida Democratic coordinated campaigns ahead of their state’s special elections in the coming days.

If you want to help win these special elections, sign up to get involved at democrats.org/take-action

At the same time, supporters want to be heard, and more than 20,000 survey respondents said they would like to see Democrats host more town halls and listening sessions where Party leaders can hear from voters directly.

Ultimately, the survey shows that respondents want to ensure the Party is listening to voters, and that we are able to reach and engage people well before Election Day. This will help us ensure that voters are bought in on what Democrats are doing, and that they turn out in every county to elect Democrats both locally and nationally.

Messaging:

Survey respondents emphasized that they would like to see Democrats share a clearer message on issues like the economy, rising costs, health care, housing affordability, and tax fairness — ideally, a message that resonates with people all over the country.

Additionally, respondents shared many thoughts on how Democrats communicate, with many suggesting Democrats should share messaging “in a way that everyone can understand and repeat.” Respondents also called on Democrats to do more to fight back against misinformation and to be louder in countering Republican narratives.

Bottom Line:

We are so grateful for your feedback. We’re committed to doing more to effectively reach more voters, clearly communicate the work we are doing, and ensure that voters know we are the Party that shows up for them year-round — not just right before Election Day.

Now, we’re sharing these results with DNC Chair Ken Martin and are actively working on incorporating this feedback into our strategy. We will keep you updated as we take on more efforts like investing in local and statewide elections, holding more town halls across the country, reaching younger voters more effectively, and more.

Thank you,

The Democrats

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, support for public health policies has gradually declined. At the federal level certain policies and practices regarding vaccines have been thrown into question.

    Vaccine proponents note the long-time and widespread benefits of the traditional MMR vaccine; vaccine skeptics generally insist it causes autism. Some say the approval process (Operation Warp Speed for Covid-19) was either rushed or rigged; others say the process was instrumental in reducing suffering and saved the lives of millions of people.

  • Whistle Workshop & Learning Event

    Whistle Workshop & Learning Event

    December 12, 2025  10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
    Richland Public Library, Conf Room B, 955 Northgate Dr, Richland, WA

    📣Our Voices United is sharing whistle safety packs as a simple, but powerful, grassroots tool that helps communities stay alert and protect each other. Indivisible Tri-Cities is joining in to help promote this campaign and support local outreach.

    🧊These whistles create instant signals when ICE activity is nearby, helping neighbors gather quickly, record what's happening, and stand with anyone who may be approached. Join us this Friday to learn more!

    🎶Different whistle patterns can signal urgent moments, like ICE being in the area or someone being detained. This gives those nearby a way to respond that's faster than social media and doesn't rely on being on your phone all the time.

    🛡️Though it's a small tool, it helps combat quiet threats by creating visible community action, solidarity, and support. When we come together in efforts like this, our collective strength grows.

    It's time for a holiday celebration. This month we'll meet at the Round Table Pizza on Court Street in Pasco. December 12 at 6pm. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. As is our normal practice, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    At this writing, we do not have a planned program, but we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available. We are coming up on election time for the group - at our January meeting we'll plan to hold elections for our officers for 2026. Please let us know if you are interested in serving on the board!

    Family Meeting: Child Care & the Washington State Budget Emergency

    December 16, 2025  6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
    https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/873403/

    Organizing for a brighter future for Washington families in 2026 starts now! It’s time to huddle up and make a 2026 game plan for protecting child care during the Washington state budget crisis.

    Join SEIU 925, Children's Campaign Fund Action, and MomsRising for a virtual Family Meeting: Child Care & the State Budget Emergency.

    Our state is in a budget crisis, and we know most of our families are too. We’re calling a family meeting to learn about what’s at stake and to co-create the budget solutions that will lift all families.

    Together, we'll get up to speed about the state of the 2026 state budget and how budget choices will impact moms, families, caregivers, and workers in our state. We'll hear from leaders from across Washington state, including Senator Claire Wilson, Senator Emily Alvarado, Representative Mary Fosse, and leaders from SEIU 925 and MomsRising.

    We hope you can join us in getting organized and informed so we can hit the ground running in early 2026! Make sure to RSVP so you receive the Zoom link once it's available.
