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.

Election 2025
This November, Democratic women have the power to shape the future of our communities and our nation. Every election is a chance to protect our rights, strengthen our democracy, and lift up voices that stand for equality, justice, and opportunity. By showing up and casting our ballots, we continue the long legacy of women leading change—from the local level to the White House. Let’s make our voices heard, defend progress, and ensure that every vote counts.
About Us
We 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.
“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.”
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.
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.
