DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
She Votes, She Leads, She Changes the World.
The National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) is the official women’s organization of the Democratic Party, recognized by the Democratic National Committee since 1972. With members across the country, the Federation works to engage, educate, and empower Democratic women to take active roles in politics and public service. Its mission is to encourage women’s participation at every level of the political process—from grassroots organizing to serving in elected office—while advocating for policies that advance equality, justice, and opportunity.
Through its national network of state federations and local clubs, the NFDW provides training, resources, and a strong support system for women leaders. Our organization also hosts regional meetings and National Conventions, where members can connect, share strategies, and hear directly from Democratic leaders. By building a powerful coalition of women dedicated to Democratic values, the NFDW continues to be a driving force in shaping the future of the party and amplifying women’s voices in American politics. Support our work today.
The National Federation of Democratic Women extends its sincere gratitude to our 2026 Convention Sponsors and Distinguished Patrons. Their generous support helps make this event possible, strengthens our mission, and creates meaningful opportunities for Democratic women from across the nation to connect, learn, and lead. We are proud to recognize these individuals and organizations whose commitment to empowering women and advancing Democratic values helps ensure the success of our Convention and the future of our Federation.
About UsWe support women’s voices. The objective of the organization is to unite women of the Democratic Party; to promote the cause of the Democratic Party and to encourage full participation of women in every level of the Democratic Party Structure.
“The only time we create any kind of substantive change is when we reach out to a disaffected electorate and inspire and motivate them to vote.”

Let’s make our voices heard, defend progress, and ensure that every vote counts.
Building Bonds Together
-
Whether we gather in person or virtually, NFDW events are always filled with energy, purpose, and connection. From our Annual Convention and Regional Meetings to Book Club discussions, Workshops & Trainings, and Women in Blue gatherings, each event offers a chance to learn, share ideas, and celebrate the power of Democratic women. Together, we build lasting relationships, exchange insights, and strengthen our collective voice to make a difference in our communities and across the nation.
Communicating Our Values
-
Our voice is the most powerful resource of our organization, and effective communication is what gives it strength and reach. When we speak consistently, and collectively—sharing our message across communities, online platforms, and in personal conversations—we amplify our impact far beyond our membership. A united chorus of voices, backed by strong grassroots communication, helps us inform voters, counter misinformation, and inspire participation. Together, through open dialogue and coordinated messaging, we can shape public understanding, uplift women’s issues, and ensure that candidates who support women and their rights are heard, supported, and elected.
