We’re excited to announce the launch of the Belmont Democratic Club’s brand-new website: belmontdemocraticclub.com!

On April 5, I attended my very first protest, the Hands Off rally in Leesburg, Virginia. The rally was one of 1,400 protests held on April 5 across all 50 states with “millions” in attendance. Like many people, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and more than a little helpless watching rights being stripped away and democratic norms eroded. I knew I needed to do something—anything—to feel less powerless. That’s what drove me to show up.

On March 27, over 150 passionate people packed the Belmont Country Ballroom in a show of unity and determination to elect Virginia’s next Democratic governor, Abigail Spanberger. The energy in the room was electric as members of the Belmont Dems, River Creek Dems, Ashburn Dems, the Loudoun Democratic Committee, and other dedicated supporters came together to rally behind the values that define our movement.
