Hamilton County Democratic Party

You’ll notice a small change to our logo this month.

It’s intentional.

Pride Month is not a branding exercise for us. It’s a recognition that LGBTQ+ people in our community deserve safety, dignity, equal rights, and leaders willing to say that clearly.

We know symbols aren’t enough. A rainbow logo doesn’t do the work. People do.

But being open about where we stand matters too. So here’s where we stand: Hamilton County Democrats support our LGBTQ+ neighbors, friends, families, candidates, and community members, not just in June, but year-round.

Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.

Check out our weekly calendar and find your place in the movement 💙

Our Blue Tent nights are the perfect way to get out in the community, knock doors, talk with voters, and connect directly with local candidates.

This week we will be out in District 8 & District 6 knocking for Josh Wichman For County Commission District 8, Vote David Sharpe, and Ben Connor - Hamilton County School Board!

Not a door knocker? No problem! Join us for phone banking at HCDP Hub Night in the office on Wednesday or help power campaigns by writing postcards.

Got questions or just want to learn more? Stop by our office hours. We would love to meet you and get you plugged into the work HCDP is doing.

There is a role for everyone. Come be a part of it!

Join the Hamilton County Black Caucus this Juneteenth as we march in the Juneteenth National Freedom Day Parade and continue building community right here in Chattanooga!

From voter engagement and community connection to celebrating ties with our sister city in Accra, Ghana, this day is about honoring our past while shaping our future together.

Stop by the Black Caucus tent, learn more about local civic opportunities, and join us for the Cultural Cross Ties documentary screening at Barking Legs Theater!

A huge thank you to our incredible Black Caucus Chair Kanika Jamila and Vice Chair Ms. Waynetta Dowdell for their leadership, dedication, and hard work in making these events possible. More exciting events are on the way, so stay tuned!

Together, we honor our past. Build our present. Shape our future. ✨

🔥 This June, We Organize.

Join us for our Q2 General Assembly, a powerful moment to come together, build community, and keep the momentum growing as we fight for Hamilton County’s future.

This is more than a meeting. It is where organizers, volunteers, and leaders lock in, share strategy, and move the work forward.

• Hear real updates from across our districts
• Plug into on-the-ground organizing efforts
• Build relationships with fellow changemakers
• Connect directly with elected officials and candidates running right here in Hamilton County

There is no better time than now to get in the room, make your voice heard, and be part of the movement shaping 2026.

Whether you have been organizing for years or you are just ready to get involved, we need you in this fight.

Let’s build people power. Let’s show up. Let’s win.

🚨 BLUE TENT DAY POSTPONED 🚨

Hey folks, due to the inclement weather in the East Brainerd area this evening, the HCDP will be postponing tonight’s D8 Hub Night.

We want to make sure everyone stays safe during this weather. We’ll share an updated date and time soon. Thank you all for understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the rescheduled Blue Tent Day!

Blue Tent Days are BACK!!

If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved, this is it. Blue Tent Days are our coordinated volunteer days across Hamilton County where we team up with Democratic candidates to connect with voters and build real momentum heading into the general election.

Here’s what to expect:
You’ll check in at a Blue Tent, get a quick training, and then jump into the action: knocking doors, making phone calls, waving signs for our candidates, and helping energize the community. Whether you’re canvassing or phone banking, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

And yes, we work hard, but we also have fun doing it. Great people, good energy, and real impact.

We’re out every Wednesday and Saturday. Look for Blue Tents in your neighborhood.

Every volunteer makes a difference. Can we count on you?

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave souls who gave everything for our nation. Their sacrifice calls us to more than gratitude, it calls us to action.

In Hamilton County and across the country, too many veterans still struggle to access the mental health care, housing, and support they’ve earned.

We owe our fallen more than words. We owe them a system that truly serves those who served.

Let’s honor the past by building a future where fewer lives are lost to war, and where every veteran comes home to the care they deserve.

🕊️🕊️

Join us for a weekend of door knocking! Starting Saturday at 10:30am and Sunday at 2:00 pm.
