This is the home of the Belchertown Democratic Town Committee (BDTC). We're your local branch of the Democratic Party, working to support and promote Democratic principles in Belchertown and beyond.
If you're hoping to become more involved in the political process, connect with other Dems, and help our community, we'd love to have you join the BDTC! Please click here to request membership and/or sign up for our online mailing list.
Concerned about the daily news? Don't despair, there are LOCAL things you can do to resist and find joy as we go through this time together.
How well do you know the US Constitution? The BDTC invites people from all walks of life to meet in public spaces in town to handwrite the US Constitution. This quiet practice was created so that people will know their rights, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights, and to help resist negative thinking. Meet up with your friends and neighbors for this quiet activity . . . write out your favorite amendments, or take on the whole document. The BDTC will provide copies of the Constitution and a variety of paper, pens, and other art supplies will be available for participants to use, or bring your own!
Saturday, November 1, 12:00-1:30pm, Belchertown Town Hall Planning Board meeting room (Bring your lunch or snacks!)
We're looking to raise funds to provide free pocket Constitutions to residents of Belchertown who attend our Handwriting the Constitution events this year! Consider donating to the Campaign HERE. Any amount would help!
The mission of Americans of Conscience is to provide tools that encourage engagement to strengthen American democracy and social justice.
Companies donate some of their profits to fund political campaigns. Websites and apps like Goods Unite Us can let us see whether our everyday purchases are helping or hurting Democrats. Let's align our economic power with our values.
Visit our Get Involved page to find organizations to join, recurring standouts, and specific actions, such as phonebanking opportunities.
