Contribute to DWPC's Sustaining Fund
A simple way to financially support DWPC and our future democratic candidates is to make a donation to our sustaining fund. You can donate whatever amount is comfortable for you in a one-time donation or you can make it a recurring donation. At the 2025 Planning Meeting, the group set our fundraising goal to be $15,000.

President's Message
Dear All,
I love this group! I'm proud of this group. And I hope you all feel the same way. Or, if you're new, and there are many of you who are, I hope you come to feel this way. Fortunately, there is a magic formula for those feelings. Get involved!
We have never lived through a more important and impactful time. I use the word impactful because we all can and need to have an impact on what's happening in our county, state, and country.
Over the course of the next four years, DWPC will continue our election work; locally, state-wide, and for our national leaders. But, we will also be increasing our activism, resistance, and community outreach. At the Democratic National Convention last August, Michelle Obama told us to DO SOMETHING! And I'm sure she didn't mean we should stop after the election.
If you're following us on Facebook, InstaGram, or on our website, I'm sure you're seeing posts about opportunities to get involved. And if you're not following us, you should be!
In addition, I'm asking you to register on Mobiliize, Indivisible, Democracy NC, Red Wine and Blue, or the National Democratic Training Committee. They will help you get started. Join the DNC. Join League of Women Voters of Lower Cape Fear. Join NAACP. Many members of DWPC are also members of these groups, as we have common missions.
Making our voices heard doesn't stop with our vote. It just starts there!
Connie Nelson - DWPC President
We are Stronger TOGETHER
Thanks for everyone's hard work! We made a difference in Pender County
