Democracy Builders



You Are the Party. Let’s Build It Together.

South Carolina is at a crossroads. With 2026 shaping up to be one of the most consequential elections in our lifetime, we need neighbors talking to neighbors, communities connecting, and Democrats building relationships with other Democrats who care about South Carolina’s future.

That’s where you come in.

Democracy Builders is the South Carolina Democratic Party’s new year-round organizing program. Whether you’ve been involved for years or are brand-new to politics, this is your invitation to get off the sidelines and help build Democratic power from the ground up.

What Does a Democracy Builder Do?

Democracy Builders take on one of the most important roles in the movement. You become the bridge between your community and our movement. Democracy Builders are responsible for connecting at least three times over the next year with 35-50 voters who live in your community. You will help your community get involved and elect Democrats. From family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors, your role is to get them connected, informed, and engaged with the Democratic Party.

That means:

  • Making sure folks are registered and ready to vote 
  • Sharing news about upcoming elections and issues 
  • Inviting people to events, trainings, and volunteer opportunities 
  • Being the go-to Democratic contact in your circles 

We’ll give you the tools, support, and training. You bring the passion.

Why It Matters

South Carolina has thousands of Democrats, people who care about healthcare, jobs, education, and justice, but the problem is they’ve never been asked to get involved. As a Democracy Builder, you’ll be the one who asks.

When you help connect your community to the party, you’re not just building a stronger campaign; you’re building a better future for your neighborhood, your county, and your state.

How You’ll Be Supported

When you sign up, we’ll provide:

  • A list of 35-50 voters in your community 
  • Training & resources to get started
  • Regular check-ins with the organizing staff
  • Toolkits & talking points for outreach
  • Recognition for your work

Who Can Be a Democracy Builder?

You don’t need to be a political pro; you just need to care. We’re looking for:

  • Students
  • Parents
  • Small business owners
  • Veterans
  • Church members
  • Retirees
  • YOU.

If you’re ready to build power in your community, you’re ready to be a Democracy Builder.
