Haverford College Democrats
The Haverford College Democrats are the official student outreach arm of the Democratic Party. We engage students in the political process via voter outreach drives, local canvassing and campaigning, thought-provoking guest speakers and topical issue advocacy. We campaign for Democratic candidates at all levels of government, from local city council races all the way up to presidential races, and place high value on the power local volunteering has in creating a stronger bond between Haverford students and the broader community.
