Democratic Party

Progressives, we need you!! Grand Rapids United Progressives has arranged to charter a bus from Great Lakes Motorcoach for the MDP Convention at Cobo Hall in Detroit on February 2nd. YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR 30 DAYS PRIOR TO FEB. 2ND TO VOTE! Those wishing to ride the bus are to report to the park and ride north of Gravity Taphouse Grille located on the East Beltline and 96. The bus departs at 5:00 a.m., so try to get there by 4:45 a.m. and plan to bring a lunch and something to drink, as purchasing lunch at Cobo is pretty expensive.

The upcoming Michigan Democratic Party Convention held Feb. 2, 2019 at Cobo Hall is expected to have a large turnout, many members who have never attended the Spring Convention before. At this convention MDP members will elect a new Party Chair and the State Central Committee (SCC) delegates, the committee is the legislative body of the MDP. New caucus officers and executive committee members will also be elected.

Join us for our January meeting.

Are you a member of the Michigan Democratic party and think the Michigan Democratic Party should be... uh... more democratic? Are you impressed with how so many people showed up to the April 2018 democratic convention to get Dana Nessel, our NOW attorney general, the nomination for the Democratic Party? Are you looking for more ways YOU can make a difference in Michigan politics?

Join us for our first meeting of the year on Thursday, January 17, 2019 at 7 pm at the Oak Park Recreation Center. The 2018 election brought progressive change to our Michigan electorate, join us to discuss what this means moving forward - Suzanne Bailey will be hear to talk about the passing of Prop 2, Erica Peresman to talk about Prop 3, and Moreno Taylor from the MDP to talk about what worked for us last election and how we can look to the future to keep the momentum going!
