Welcome to the web page of the
Ward 10 Democratic Committee

Overview

Our mission is to elect Democrats at every level, build community and strengthen the grassroots power of the Democratic Party, and influence issues on the national, state, and local level.  We do everything from running campaigns and advocating policies to holding signs and distributing literature.  We also get involved in neighborhood issues.  The Ward 10 Democratic Committee welcomes your participation as a member, an associate member, a building or block captain, or a volunteer. 

We are represented at the State House by Rep. Alice Wolf (precincts 1 and 2), Rep. William Brownsberger (precinct 3),   Sen . Steven Tolman (precincts 1 and 3) and Sen. Anthony Galluccio   (precinct 2).

Our Committee will be out at the Porter Square T and shopping center, as well as other locations, to register voters, promote the Green Streets initiative, and support Democratic victory in November. Before the last Friday of every month, we will be urging people to walk, ride a bike, or use public transportation to get to school or work (Walk/Ride Day, www.GoGreenStreets.org). And every event we will be registering voters and reminding folks that, Obama or Clinton, we are together in November.

We had voter outreach events in April and May, our last one was June 14 at Briston Arms, and our next one is Thursday, June 26, between 4 and 6 pm, outside the Porter Square T. Other upcoming dates are July 12, July 23, August 2, August 13, and August 27. Join us on the streets!

Get Involved

 

You can become a member or an associate member.  Associates get notice of city committee & ward committee meetings, and notice of local Democratic events.  While we'd love to have associates attend meetings and volunteer for the Democratic Party, there are no obligations.  Associates who are willing to make a commitment can be elected full Ward Committee members when there is an opening. To become an associate member, you must be registered to vote as a Democrat in Ward 10, and contact us (lfield1007@aol.com).    

Join our "Building a Democratic Governor" project.  We want to have a "building captain" in every large building (over 10 voters) and a "block captain" on every block.  Our captains will help register voters, talk to their neighbors about the election, distribute literature, and help turnout the vote.  You can do something tangible to make a difference, in your own building or street.  If you want to hear more, contact us (lfield1007@aol.com).  

Volunteer.  You can do as little or as much as you want!  Contact us (lfield1007@aol.com).

 

Neighborhood Issues

 

We are currently following a proposed hotel on the site of the Kaya Restaurant on Massachusetts Avenue, as well as Lesley University's potential development plans in the neighborhood.
