About Us

The Florida College Democrats, reestablished in 2009, is the official federation of College Democrats chapters at colleges and universities across Florida. The FCD is dedicated to organizing and connecting chartered chapters at post-secondary educational institutions across Florida to further the Democratic Party by:

  1. Supporting Democratic issues and candidates for local, state, and federal office;
  2. Engaging in voter registration, education, and mobilization for the Democratic Party;
  3. Furthering civic engagement and participation among college students in the Democratic Party by providing the tools needed to grow and develop chapter effectiveness.

As of 2010, our Honorary Chair is Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

 

Who We Are

We are the students trying to register our peers just before class starts, the ones running around with clipboards and chalk across the student union. We are the Party’s voice on campus and we are the Party’s future. We are able to accomplish what we do through the help of two parent organizations, and thus are able to wear two hats at once.

 

The Florida College Democrats:

  • A chartered state federation of the College Democrats of America, which serves as the student outreach arm for the Democratic National Committee
  • Enables our members to be eligible for national leadership opportunities

The Democratic Student Caucus of Florida:

  • A chartered caucus of the Florida Democratic Party
  • Gives us a vote in the Party’s Executive Committee

 

This being said, it just be noted that are successes emerge from local activism. In that spirit, we hope you take the time to visit the “Our Chapters” page, and learn about the ways in which we engage students from all sorts of different campuses
