Year in Review – 2025

Thank you members and volunteers for all your efforts this year!
The highlights below can’t possible capture all you accomplished but hopefully they remind you of what a group of passionate, likeminded people can do. Looking forward to seeing what we accomplish in 2026!

‘Getting Out the Vote’

2025 was the year FRDC members and volunteers helped pass California’s Prop. 50 and countered red state redistricting.

    
     

Voter Registration and ‘Getting Out the Vote’

Members and volunteers registered hundreds of new voters at local colleges and high schools then wrote postcards to undecided voters and registered Democrats to tell them about FRDC.
Others helped write postcards to voters in other states, encouraging them to vote as part of a nation-wide effort by the Democratic party, which help create an unexpectedly strong Democratic showing across the nation in November.

 

Bringing State and National Candidates to the Feather River

In both Spring and Fall, FRDC was able to attract statewide and national candidates to the Feather River region. Multiple candidates for California Governor and U.S. House of Representatives spoke at club fundraisers, speaking about their policies and answering questions from community members.

 
  

Living Our Values & Taking Direct Action Against Bad Policy

Volunteers and members helped feed their neighbors by volunteering at the Yuba Sutter Food Bank. The also  coordinated food drives during the longest government shut down in history, which hit many military families, seniors, and others in the region very hard.

The food bank was chosen as the primary focus becuase of the need for food in the local community and this allowed the club to show the values of the Democratic Party in the face of misunderstanding and distrust stoked by harsh rhetoric in recent years.

       

Protesting Anti-Democratic, Anti-American Policies

Hundreds of members and volunteers took to the steets to draw awareness to the dismantling of Democracy and unequal application of law under the administration.

They helped show silent but equally upset local residents they were not alone and reminded local leaders that there is a huge swath of residents whose views need to be taken into account.


                  

Public Programs

A new series of activites debuted in 2025, providing educational and helpful programs to local residents at no cost. Topics included fire safety and mental heath.
  
Booths at Local Events
Throughout the year, FRDC sponsored booths at fairs and festivals across the region. These public awareness events helped show local Democrats that they are not alone in this very red region. They also helped show the communtiy that Democrats are just like them.
Volunteers and members egistered voters, gave away kids books (as part of our support of education and reading in the face of reduced support for libraries and learning), and sold merchandise to raise funds for future voter registration efforts/candidate and ballot initiative support/more.
